8 objects in sky to the east of Taylorsville, Salt Lake County, Utah

At about 6:58PM Sunday night I turned east bound on 4800 South from 2700 West and was heading toward Redwood Road. I first noticed 2 bright orange objects in the sky as I approached the underpass of I215 near 2200 West. The objects were round but appeared to me to be translucent with no sharp outer edges. ( a video was taken by my blackvue dash cam) The 2 object were to high in the sky for my dash cam to pick them up As I cleared the underpass, I noticed four to five other objects flying southbound at a lower altitude in a triangle or v shape.I pulled off the road into a grocery store parking lot near Redwood Road. By the time I again pointed myself eastward I noticed another of these objects trailing the other object and trying to catch up with them. The dash cam caught an image of 4-5 of these objects but they appear as pinpricks of white light in the video. I wish the camera had caught what I saw as these objects appeared to be about the size of a police helecopter. That was from my perspective. To me the objects appeared to look like flame inside a ball but they moved as fast as a plane. The sighting was over by 7:02PM.
