Dim "stars" moving fast across the sky, illuminated the clouds

Me and husband went out stargazing to see the perseid meteor shower. We were outside laying in the grass, we live in a rural farming country area. We have soybean crops in our fields. We were outside only about 20ish mins when I had seen my first perseid. Then immediately after looking towards the big Dipper I saw a flash of light slowly dissipate. I thought it was odd and it stuck in my mind for a lil bit but then I forgot about it as we laid there talking and staring up. About 15 mins and 2 perseids later, at the same time, we both witnessed what looked like a very very dim star but it was moving, FAST. It was not blinking. It was circular and dim lit. We watched it go from one end of the sky to the other is a super quick succession. And I thought why wasn't it blinking like a plane. I chalked it up to be too far away but as it got closer to the treeline if the northwest sky, some clouds came and and the object had to have been right above the clouds becau! se we suddenly saw a spotlight on the clouds that was coming from the object. But the object was still sooooo dim and you couldn't see the light coming from the craft but u could see it on the clouds. Like it was some form of ultraviolet light my eyes couldn't see but illuminated on the clouds. Then we saw two of the lights over the clouds hovering then disappeared. We were trying to debunk the entire thing and forget what we saw because we couldn't believe it. So we focused back in the sky. A few mins later looking up southwest directly above me , while I was staring up, a dim lit "star" that was suspended not moving suddenly flashed sooooo incredibly bright then went dim and I o served the same kind of object moving extremely fast through the sky and it went all the way north till it was near the clouds again and I witnessed the "spotlight" in the clouds again. It was then I remembered the first flash of light by the big Dipper and I realized this was ! weird. I The objects had no contrails or anything. But I'm gonna be honest, either the multiple crafts we witnessed were communicating through the flashes or I felt like , in some weird way, which I know this crazy, but I felt like they almost noticed that we noticed them. I have no idea how. It was so strange. Everything got extremely eerie so we decided to go in. That was a little after 2300hrs. I couldn't sleep last night and this is all I keep thinking of and I'm scared. So I found this website to report it and get it off my chest. But I keep thinking how they are out there. They could be out there right now on the sunny summer bright day and we wouldn't even know it.
