We witnessed a large cluster of objects moving towards us and spreading out as they came closer with several flying around others

On Saturday evening around 8 pm on April 29, 2023, my son and I were working in his yard on landscape lights when I happened to look up at a distant mass of what looked like a galaxy glowing slowly moving towards us from about 30 degrees above the horizon. My first reaction was to point and say to him "What the F*&^ is that?" He then replied "Holy shit. What is that?" I then said grab you phone and start taking pictures. I then ran inside the home to grab mine. It was difficult getting focus. I considered calling 911. At one point I asked him to get a cell phone tripod out of my car (actually asking him to get the tripod out of the trunk of my "camera" which was of course a mistake with the excitement) and when he returned I was trying to get my phone set up on it but could not. So I laid down on my back trying to keep the camera steady while filming. We had plenty of time. As they were directly overhead, most seemed to be in a steady movement but others were moving around. Some rapidly. And from that distance it had to be incredible fast. We stopped taking any video or photos and just observed. Until they faded at about 30 degrees from the horizon like traveling in a straight line. Not following the curvature of the earth like Starlink for example. I contacted the local news and sent them photos but never heard back and could not find anything online of other people reporting anything. This was nothing like Starlink. I witnessed Starlink with my son and his wife on the evening of May 4th. And have video and photos. This was completely different. These objects were moving around independently and spreading out in various ways. Maybe as far as 20 miles at one point. I am a 61 year old US Marine Corp Vet and my son is 30. We have zero interest in personal attention. But I know what I witnessed was unlike anything I have ever seen.
