In a field, next to a lake and trees, a few objects like stars, but stars don't move that fast. One went from amber orb to star like

While out for the evening, enjoying astrophotography and stargazing, a friend and I witnessed a glowing Amber colored orb that faded to looking like a quickly moving star. We also witnessed multiple others throughout a 3 hour period. With the exception of the orb they all looked like they should be a star. However, they moved very quickly, with the ability to stop and maneuver effortlessly. They were incredibly hard to track and film. There were no trails behind these flying lights. They were not drones or airplanes. There was no sound that we could distinguish.

When we were getting ready to leave a very heavy helicopter was flying quite low literally directly overhead of where we were. This helicopter was larger than your rescue type aircraft being much wider and rounded. The blades on this helicopter were also very large. It didn't have very many distinctive lights on it, and it was solid black.

The photo and video that I'm submitting is original, and has NO alterations.
