Bright stationary light which turned into another shape with light changing color and brightness and took off North.

Myself and my 3 children were driving home from a friends house last night when we noticed a brilliant white light in the sky. The light was not moving for 8-10mins. I took a couple photos and tried to record the event. However my phone showed no record of the recording so I only have a few photos of it stationary. I did get 1 photo with an airplane heading towards PDX (N) while the light was still stationary and that helped me determine this light couldn’t be an airplane. I began wondering if I was looking at Venus or Mars, but that idea was certainly dismissed the moment the object appeared to change shape and move across the sky. The light appeared to be facing slightly upward as if it were slightly angled towards the clouds in front of it (while stationary). We couldn’t see the shape of the object originally, just the brilliant lights which made this object appear to be circular. However, we were facing the light(s), therefore couldn’t necessarily see behind the very bright light. Just as I was starting to assume it was Venus or Mars, the object shot off and wings seemed to appear to come out the side of the craft. The bright light on the front dimmed. The “wings” each had a non-blinking very bright blue light at the ends of them. This may sound odd, but it looked as if it transformed into something to look more like an airplane once it realized we were trying to record it, but nothing we were seeing made sense. There’s no way an airplane’s headlights could be that bright, and more importantly it could NOT hover. Even if it was appearing to hover while coming East, after a few mins past, certainly the light and/or movement would’ve become clear that it was indeed moving. This did not move for far too long, especially for how close we were to the object. Also the sheer size of this object and light(s) could not have been an airplane (as you will see in one of my photos captured with an airplane in the shot). I am a 33yo woman, my children are age 9 (who sat next to me in the front seat), age 6(sat behind the 9yo in the car), and my 4yo who sat directly behind me. All of us saw this entire experience. The sun was setting but still plenty bright enough to see surroundings at a distance. We parked the car for quite some time after driving up the road very slowly watching it and even stopped in the road a couple of times. We pulled off the road at a local tree nursery so we’d have a good line of site and we sat there until after the object was gone. Also, we rolled down all the windows and there was absolutely no sound.

PLEASE NOTE: attempts made on my phone and computer to upload my photos but the website would not work. Please contact me to let me know where I can forward my photos.
Thanks so much!
