Three red lights hovering in triangular formation over Elmira Heights

I was driving South on Route 14 in Horseheads when I saw three triangular shaped red lights hovering in the South East (over Elmira Heights). I pulled off the road to watch, the three sets of red lights were hovering in a triangular pattern. I could see that they were three distinct objects, they were not hovering perfectly still. The light to the West started to break from the formation and its lights went out. The other two objects remained hovering in their original locations for another five minutes. The lights to the East then started to break formation and the lights went out. After another minute the final and central set of lights went out. The lights were too large to have been helicopters, their formation was too precise as well, and there was no sound of helicopter blades, they would have had to have been the largest helicopters on Earth. The objects were too large to have been planes at that height and I have not seen a plane that can hov! er in place the way these were hovering. The red lights on each object were not flashing and did not look like lights on planes. I called a friend in the next town over to ask if they could see the lights in the valley, unfortunately they could not. I continued to explain to them what I was seeing for the entirety of the event.

Central NY Single craft/ object

A small light was observed to the west in central NY. Moving in a NNW direction slowly. The altitude is unknown (presumably high). This object had no strobes or orientation beacons visible. The shape is unknown due to distance. The object itself sparkled a light blue.

To the west of the observers position, there is a small airport with a helipad. This craft did not approach or descend toward the airport in any observable fashion.

This object turned swiftly to the west. This object then turned a brilliant flame blue, then appeared to accelerate and ascend in a curve. This object was out of sight in three to four seconds upon becoming highly luminous. It did not go over the horizon, but straight up. This craft also seemed to leave a glowing trail that quickly disappaited.

The observer is mid twenties male, amatuer-physicist. A self described skeptic.
