Dark sky, large lights, nothing like an airplane, turning on and off in a pattern.Driving home, noticed brighter than a normal light in sky. It was dark out and the stars were shining. The light was kind of oval and came on and then went off. Then a little ways to the right another light of same shape and size came on and went off. Then another and another. In a pattern, 4 total. If a star looks like the size of a nail head these looked more like a small plate that is used under a coffee cup. The lights were not real white, but more amber in color. I waited a little and the same thing happened but they seemed a little farther away. These lights kept going on and off for a while. After they stopped I continued on my way home. I turned the corner and kept my eyes on my rear view mirror. I looked out to the west of the car and the lights were back. I stopped the car and watched as they did the same thing, but this time one of them turned on and there were about 4 other lights in the same area. The lights did this for at least 5 minutes.
