White lights dropping from space at a slight angle. Some changing direction and flying parallel to the surface.

Reportee woke at about 2 AM and observed multiple lights seemingly dropping towards the ground from the apparent upper atmosphere. Using 12x50 binoculars, at one point reportee counted six moving objects in the stationary field of view of his binoculars. The objects moved at approximately the speed of a satellite. Some of the objects changed direction and paralleled the surface of the earth eventually disappearing behind nearby mountains. Some appeared to create a flying formation near the ground with one apparent object following a lead object. The objects did not appear to be self illuminated but appeared to be illuminated by the moon. This reportee is a retired homicide detective and has been an avid night sky watcher. Since moving to the area in 2014 and prior to this incident, the reportee has never seen any suspicious flying object.
