Characteristics: Lights on object, Emitted other objects

Extremely bright light formation and disc shape over Santa Monica mountains.

I was standing on the santa monica college roof with a friend, talking and drinking coffee when suddenly i told him to look north over the Santa Monica mountains. We both observed extremely bright blue/white lights creating a formation a few times, then dissapearing, just to re-appear a minute or so later, moving slowly in different directions and at one time forming a horizontal disk looking object only shortly. These lights lasted for about 20 minutes or so. We kept looking in that direction and all over the sky but no longer saw anything after that span. It was very strange, and it couldn't have been anything on the mountain, it had to be hovering and couldn't have been a helicopter or plane due to the hovering and multiple extremely bright lights appearing and disapearing. Very strange and neither of us have ever seen anything like that before while standing on the smc roof parking structure.
