Strange lights in Abilene

Around midnight I started to get hungry and went out for food. The only places open at that time here are Taco Bell, Whataburger, and Wendy's. Given my choices I went to Wendy's.

After goin thru the drive thru I stopped in the parking lot to put the straw in my drink. before I started again I checked down the road and saw several lights in the air. I was about two miles from Dyess AFB at the time and thought it was a plane landing,

then I noticed the lights were all blinking and the pattern did not fit any aircraft I know of. They were all a very pure white color, I couldn't see any yellowing or blueing like aircraft or car lights.

I started watching it and saw the light reflecting off some trees under it, it appeared to be apporx. 15 feet off the treetops which were maybe 150 yards away from me.

After about 15 seconds of watching them blink they "slid" over to the SE about 100 yards I estimate. the movement took a full 2 seconds.

There was no acceleration or deceleration, it moved and stopped.

After stopping it hovered and all lights went steady for a few seconds then all shut off at the same time. After they turned off I watched for a few more seconds to make sure they didn't come back then drove off.
