Strange lights that hovered then moved rapidly, then stopped and moved rapidly again over great distances.

It started out as two lights above each other off in the distance just above the tree line. Then the lights moved very quickly in different directions. At first they looked like stars, but when they started moving very rapidly and stoping on a dime it made me and my friend realize that this was something really weird, almost scary. Then the lights became three lights, moving in all sorts of directions in almost a pattern like. Then they moved very quickly and rapidly across the sky. After that we struggled to find a video camera. We ruturn to see the lights moving still accross the sky in different directions and stopping on a dime again. It was like they were hovering, ten moving, then hovering then moving again. Then the lights disapeared. We then saw at least a dozen military jets converging on the area from three difernt directions. My companion thought they were travelling from the direction of various military bases in the area.
