Craft(s) with 4 lights being overtaken by one light, no noise or strobe lights

At 9:43 last night, I observed an commercial airliner going west out of DFW as normal and also heard a small aircraft which I thought was approaching from the SSW, but I looked up and seen the small aircraft overhead, when I continued to watch the approaching lights ( 4 dim white ), I could not see any body and didn't know if this was one unit or 4 units, but they had no strobe lights as required by FAA and made no noise what so ever. The kicker is behind this group(distance unknown) was a single light (same color as the first group) chasing or trying to catch the first group, just as it passed overhead the rear craft did catch the first group and I thought it was going to rear end the 4 lights, but it suddenly veered off to the left and went past the 4 lights. Winds were calm and slight thin clouds, half moon was about 30 degrees to the west of the objects. Speed of these craft was faster than the comercial or military jets.I observed them from about 40 degrees off the southern horizon till they disappeared behind the trees from my house to the north, there is no power lines or anything to distract my vision.
