Multiple star looking craft chasing each other at variable speeds, directions, and light intensity.

Initially saw two bright stars on the horizon close together disappear. Caught my eye but didn't think anything of it. About a minute or two later two stars just appeared in a dead space about 20 degrees above the horizon. And then they started moving! And then chasing each other!! Moving very fast then slowing down then fast again! Up, down, left, right, diagonal!! Then would disappear, just to reappear again a minute later in a different spot. Then we spotted a couple more!! Definitely not satellites (as we saw those too while watching this. They were slow and only moving in one direction… we see satellites all the time in the air) Then sometimes another one would chase the other two then when the two would stop the other one would stop and make a perfect triangle! It would rotate and two would shoot off again. It seemed like the faster they went the brighter they would get. Then this is when it got really weird… we saw a bright flash, similar to what we see when there's lighting (that much light) we both asked if we saw the flash, didn't think anything of it cause we were so tuned into these things zipping all over the sky, I'm talking hauling butt!! We saw a few aircraft pass us by during this, slow and normal. Nothing like these things, they were moving and changing direction that no aircraft could do. Then we saw the flash again, but didn't see the source again, but them noticed a few more of these things anywhere from right on the horizon so 60-70 degrees up. Then as we were looking up as far as we could to see if there was anymore,.. This star that had not moved the whole time we were watching it, FLASHED!! Very bright! Like a camera flash, then one comes out from behind that star in a "S" or a zigzag pattern down and then turns 90 degrees still doing the pattern! More if these things converge toward the star, two of them at a perfect 90 degree converging angle then perfectly pass each other then stop and disappear. We watched all these things for like 2 hours non stop until we lost sight of them because the sun was coming up! I've been a professional pilot for 16 years. Have hundreds of oceanic crossings and I have NEVER seen anything like this before!
