Following severe weather storms I was looking at the clouds and saw approx. 6 or 7 different lights in the sky behaving strangely.

I was looking at clouds around 9:15pm following some severe weather storms and noticed high above the clouds a light like that of a plane. So I started watching it and noticed several other lights in the same area. I thought that was strange because you don’t normally see that many planes flying in the same area at the same time and going different directions. I witnesses about 6-7 different lights all separate from each other but in the same area of the sky behaving strangely. 3 of them I witnessed fall straight down like a falling star at a high speed. 2 I saw increase speed and change direction quickly. And a couple of them just moved across the area slowly like a plane would. On 1 of them I saw red and green lights so I thought that might have been plane lights on the wings. But what’s weird is what explains the activity of the other lights in the area? The lights were small like that of a plane in the night sky. They were moving in and out of clouds so i can’t be sure if some of the lights were the same ones that I was seeing again or different ones. Again I thought it was strange that so many aircraft were in the same area at the same time doing different things. Maybe you can tell me if there was militant activity in the area this night or a plane being escorted by other aircraft or something that can’t be explained. The whole incident lasted about 5-7 minutes maybe and then the clouds were covering a lot of the night sky and I lost them.
