I saw 3 stationary lights in a very clear sky which then disappeared one by one and reappeared in a different formation further south

I was driving Southbound on 1-71 just passed Mansfield OH when I noticed 2 objects that I thought were rockets or jets starting to form contrails close to each other. I then realized they were not contrails and they were not moving. Then I spotted a third one. They were in a sideways triangle pattern pretty far apart but perfectly distanced from each other. I captured this on video. Then one by one they disappeared. I took several still photos immediately after to see if I caught something and I did. They had moved further south and switched to another triangle pattern which would be 90° different than the first pattern. They had traveled pretty far in just a matter of seconds but I did not see them move just disappear and reappear in the pics. You will have to zoom in to see them. The more you zoom they look like bodies almost. They were also much closer to each other. Then according to the photos they either morphed together or disappeared then they changed into almost transparent orbs. It was odd because the sun was the biggest I had ever seen it and had just set. Then 10 min later I look in my rearview mirror and the moon was the biggest I had ever seen it and they were both just over each horizon. It was almost like whatever these things were gathered in between the sun and moon to witness the beauty of it. I believe that it was the blood moon too These were the first UFO"s I've ever encountered. I'm not a nutcase. There had to be alot of other ppl see these they were right over the expressway. I know there were dead bugs on my windshield but when you look at the video and photos you can clearly see that these were not bugs or bird poop. I also saw very strange contrails about 30 miles before I saw these UAPs The contrails were very short and some were curved like a C all in one spot no where else. Almost like fighter jets had been in a dog fight or chasing something in circles. The rest of the sky was completely clear. After I saw these contrails there was no air traffic at all for about 2 hours on my drive during which I saw these lights. At first I thought the objects I saw were what caused those weird contrails that's why I looked at them. Then I realized they were stationary and not causing any contrails.
I am a chauffeur and I drive long distances at all times of day and night. I have never seen anything like this. I can show screenshots of all the time and date details on these pics if needed. It all happened between 5:23 PM and 5:26 PM The pics I took at 5:28PM no longer showed anything. I also have like 3 other photos and 1 video which show these. The other video I have I took immediately after the one I included in my report and by the time I recorded it 2 of the objects had disappeared and the third disappears in the video. If you pause the video I sent at the 13 second mark you can see all 3 lights.
