Saw 2 flying objects that looked like planes, but were stopping and turning randomly in different directions.

I just happened to look up at the sky after pulling into a parking lot at 10:55pm. I saw what i thought was going to be 2 planes crashing, but one stopped just in time, and went in a completely different direction. My second thought was that they might be helicopters, but they were moving around rather sporadically, and I don’t think any helicopters have that kind of maneuverability. My third thought was that maybe they were drones, but I watched them for 3 minutes before they finally left my field of view, and I am pretty certain that they seemed much too far away, and therefore too big, to be drones. The distances they travelled would not have aligned with that. I also fly drones myself, so while that is the closest movement I could compare them to, I don’t think that’s what the flying objects were. They also only had the single light source. During this time a police officer just happened to pull into the parking lot of the same store. I pointed them out, but one had already left our field of view. He stared for a while before finally saying, “I hope it’s just a drone because I’m not reporting it as a UFO. People who report those don’t tend to live very much longer.”
