COLORED LIGHTS VERY HIGH IN SKY EAST OF STRATHMORE/PORTERVILLE, CALIF.

I was out at night and noticed what I thought was a star to the east (MAG 72 DEG). But, it was twinkling different colors. It was very high, appearing to be over the sequoia Nat'l Forest. It was hard to make out with binoculars, but did have some sort of spherical or cylindrical shape, and numerous colored lights. I saw nothing listed on the local Aeronautical Chart. Saw the lights again tonight. The first observation was actually 3/10/20. I saw the lights again on 3/27/20 and 3/28/20. I took some long distance photos. They almost looked like balloons with lights, and were constantly changing the objects shape. The lights did not change location or altitude.
