Strange lights appearing over the skies of China, Texas

Over the past year I have noticed lights to our west that appear every evening and move. I live out in the country were there are a lot of rice farms and it is usually very dark. These lights look very similar to the light reflected from planets, yet they turn on and off and move. This event: There were two bright lights, approx. eye level to myself 5'-10", one on top of the other with an outstreched hands thumb space between. The bottom lights path then rotated clockwise till they were side by side. At this point we noticed that the space between them was decreasing as the lights appeared to merged. We noticed three more of these lights just south of these that stayed stationary while the others moved. This was a steady motion that took around 2 - 3 min. When the moving light merged, the others went out. This is a fairly common event seen from my home and witnessed by atleast 13 people that I know of. I have also notice an extreme increase in air traffic at night. I am a police officer and have talked with some of the sheriff's deputys that work in that part of the county but none offered any info. Just thought you might like to know, I can make a video if you think one should be made.
