Daytime sighting over Reno airport of formation consisting of three aqua spheres and two bronze elliptoids

Looking SE I observed three fuzzy-edged aqua colored spheres arrayed in a triangle 1000ft above the valley floor* and directly above Reno-Cannon airport. As the formation ascended slowly (approx. 10 ft. per second,)the lights contracted. I then noticed a bronze, or orange elliptoid/cigar-shaped craft about 500 ft. above the triangle, rising simultaneously. This craft had a distinct outline and appeared in no way 'fuzzy.' As the formation rose the triangle contracted becoming one light without increasing in size. After a few seconds the aqua light disappeared (I believe it accelerated faster than the eye could follow,) reappearing alongside the elliptoid, and having changed shape, as it was now identical in appearance. I followed the now two bronze craft for another ten seconds until the objects vanished into the overcast at approx. 10,000ft.

*Elevation: 6000ft.
