Three green colored lights, forming a triangle, moving east and being followed by military aircraft.

On 08/30/2023 at approx. 10:00 pm I noticed aircraft west of my house flying back and fourth from north to south. I was curious why they were doing that and told my wife about it. We went outside on our deck to take a look. The aircraft began to head east and passed by our house. They were flying only a few hundred feet above the ground and following each other. There were three aircraft in all. That is when I saw what I can only describe as a "UFO". I've never seen anything like this before. The lead aircraft was triangular. It had three green lights. One light on top and two below to form a triangle. I could not see the body of this aircraft. It was being followed by what appeared to be military jets. It was a full moon and I could see all the aircraft in the moonlight. The jet that was directly behind the "UFO" was flying dark. (no lights) I could see the silhouette of the darked out jet in the moonlight. It was following closely behind the UFO aircraft. There was a second jet flying with red flashing lights behind the darked out jet. Only the jets appeared to be making noise. They flew east over the horizon at slow speeds. The UFO appeared to be about half the size of the darked out jet that was following it. I've never seen a green triangle object flying before. A couple of minutes later we heard more jets approaching from the northwest. Two more military jets, with lights on, flew over our house and headed in the same direction as the other aircraft. One of the jets was shooting what appeared to be a spotlight at the forest trees. We live in the mountains. (Badger Mountain) We do not see Military aircraft excersizes in our area. People began to comment on the Badger Mountain Community Facebook page as soon as the aircraft left. On other person also mentioned that he saw the green light unidentifed flying object.
