Weird formation towards Lansing Michigan seen from Howell

Lights in semi-linear formation in western sky towards Lansing. Dimmed then brigtened and started moving higher in the sky.

One of them went upwards then backwards and down. They gradually faded out from view about 60 degrees above the horizon. They started at about 35 degrees above the horizon. They did not make noise, there was air traffic visible in the opposite side of the sky towards Detroit and Flint. These were not aircraft, we know the difference from living near an air force base when I was a child. My mother could see better than I could because she has far sharper vision than I (I'm normal, but she's got eagle eye vision).

We left after they disappeared and although they didn't seem close the animals in our barn were visibly acting odd when we came in which was strange because the objects were not close, they looked like stars moving around in formation. We can't find anything in the sky constellation/planet wise that resembles it.
