Uniform dots of lights, smooth, quick, unique, straight line vector dissappearing into the sky.

I was sitting outside watching the stars and thought I seen 2 bright flashes of light almost directly above me. I guess it would have been about 10-15 degree south, south east of the zenith of the sky. The flashes were about 5 minutes apart. This would have happened about 21:45 hours. The moon was slightly obscured by scattered clouds, but there seemed to be a straight line of clouds just above the moon, and than above that open sky. I just happened to look away and than look back at the moon. 5 or 6 lights, dots, red bluish, whites light in the form of a boomerang, or wing, with what appeared to be 3 or 4 dots/lights on one side (east) and 1, possibly 2 on the right hand side (west side). What I thought odd was how fast, smooth and how they moved without loosing their altitude or grouping. The dots did not disappear behind the cloud; rather they disappeared into the sky. My watch read 22:00hrs MST. I am not much of a stargazer, but this did catch my attention. The dots seemed to come from the north or above me very quickly, but clearly, very clearly.
