Four pink/orange lights in V formation flying over metro Portland

I saw four pink/orange lights flying in a row in my direction (to the north). I thought they were planes, though I thought that it was strange to be flying over a city like that and without blinking running lights. Then they changed direction and flew northwest, but assumed a V formation. I still thought they were planes. Then one of the lights after the leader suddenly left formation did a zippy ring around the leader and darted around it in a most-impossible maneuver for a plane, then resumed its position in the V. Lasted all of 20 seconds, but it floored me. Of course, because I thought they were planes until the very end, I didn't call out for witnesses. Anyone else seen this . . . .?



NUFORC Note:

Witness holds an advanced degree and is employed in a position of considerable responsibility. Date may be approximate. PD
