Odd lights in the sky over Utah Valley.

I am a 19 year old resident of Highland Utah, I go to a vocational school and live with my family. Tonight I went out on my routine walk before bed. As I was walking west maybe half a mile from my home, I noticed two lights maneuvering around in the sky in the west. They seemed to be over the city of Lehi and near the Oquirrh Mountains. I stood and watched them for a minute or two. They're maneuvers were so odd. One would circle the other, they would drop and climb large distances at surprising speed. After a few moments I decided to carry on watching them at a park just down the street, where a hill would provide a more unobstructed view. I ran down the street and up the hill and continued to watch. More odd movements. At a few points, they went from what seemed thousands of feet in the sky, and dropped below the tree line where I couldn't see them, and came back minutes later. After they climbed back into the sky, they would stay pretty still for! a while and then begin to move around again. I know there is a military base nearby, Camp Williams, but I have lived in the area my whole life and never seen anything like this. I suppose it could have been some sort of training operation, but the movement those lights made were very strange to me.
