Shape: Light

3 orange lights appear over Springfield, Ohio, move speraticly and vanish.

As I was traveling north on Derr Rd. in Springfield, Ohio, I looked up to see two orange lights traveling at what appeared to be aircraft speed in a South/Southeastern direction. At first a believed that they were planes or helicopters but the light was orange and constant (not flashing). There were a few small clouds floating around in the area so I could tell that one was higher than the other but they were traveling at the same speed in the same direction.

After about two minutes going in a straight path the higher one stopped immediately as the lower one continued on. A third orange light appeared just above the one that had stopped. The two lights stayed in that position for around 30 seconds then began a very fast circle as if chasing one another. As the two performed the circle the lower stopped abruptly and just sat in one position.

The two lights moving in a circle flashed once and were gone. There was still sunlight in the sky, enough to see a silhouette of a plane if thats what it was, but there was nothing. They were both completely gone. Immediately after the two dissapeared the third made a very sharp angled u-turn travelled a short distance flashed once and vanished just as the first two did. I watched the surrounding sky for 30 minutes after to see if there were any more or any commercial aircrafts in the area but there were none.
