Triangular formation of lights, Pyramid, sustained interaction.

The second sighting of UAPs happened the night of November 2nd on a commercial flight from LAX to BOI. My first officer and I were climbing to our cruise altitude discussing the lights since our route would take us very close to the airspace we had seen UAPs the previous evening. My first officer suggested a direction to monitor close to where we had seen them and at that moment two bright white lights moving in parallel and a high rate of speed moved left to right, then dimmed into nothing.

I was completely distrusting of what I had seen and continued to look in that direction. What I saw next was as vibrant and as real as anything I’ve seen in my life. I saw three bright lights (white) in a triangular formation (as did my first officer). The lights were so bright it seemed as if there was a blue haze connecting them (my perspective- my first officer did not see the blue haze). As soon as we made a visual on the triangle it started to rotate around some kind of axis and change its form. The movement reminded me of an ice cube melting on a hot plate - the only difference is that it cared not about any dimension.

After seeing that triangle and watching it shift into something else we soon realized that there were many more lights in the sky. The next thing I remember is seeing two triangles, one large one further away and a smaller one closer to us. The smaller of the two triangles seemed to move closer to us and decrease in size. At its smallest size, the lights dimmed and a larger triangle instantly appeared in its place approximately 5 times the size.

The triangles also seemed to collapse on themselves. You would see a triangle and then the tip/top of the triangle would enter the same plane as the other two points – forming a straight line.

We continued to watch lights come and go in the sky the whole flight. Lights would become brighter and form into triangles. It's hard to explain in writing but the lights would often come in groups of 5. While in the air we could not understand what we were seeing, we only later realized on the ground that the crafts are most likely pyramids or diamond in shape and that we were only making out one side at a time. We speculate that what we were seeing was a much larger craft, we were only able to make out small bits of it at a time.

On the descent into Boise we entered a layer of clouds. I could see two glowing lights follow us down in the clouds. I saw this, my first officer did not. They seemed similar in distance to the two lights I had seen at the beginning of the flight. They eventually vanished.

It's important to note that the general location of lights seemed to be centered over northern CA and Central OR. They appeared to be loitering above a fixed geographical location.
