Blue lights I saw with my family, starts a formation then moves.

I don't remember the exact date. If I can find the paper I wrote, I will update.
It was an open sky at night. My dad called me over to show the light. There was one at first, it just floated and could be barely seen with the naked eye, but the blue light in the color of natural gas that it emits downwards made it visible to us. We used binoculars and tried to see how big they were but it was so hard to focus. I tried taking photos and videos but nothing could be seen. New lights came into view one by one, and when there were 4 they started to move.
My dad asked if me and my mom wanted to follow them. We got in the car and went in the direction we last saw them go towards but couldn't find them again. I had a video of us in the car but deleted it since we couldn't catch them again.

Those things were so still at first to be a wish lantern, and too fast to be a plane, helicopter, or some other possible light source.
The weird thing is that my mom found articles of other people seeing these things a couple of months after us. Two guys became so obsessed with them that they bought a camera just to record these. Funny thing, the news report is not online anymore. However, I found other people who say similar things.
