What was reported - 3 independent lights rotating in a triangular formation.

"I initially thought they were satellites or starlink even though they were in the wrong direction and too late in the night for the sun to shine on any satellites. This was all in the first 2 seconds of seeing this event. Then I saw a 3rd light join them and together they formed a perfect isosceles triangle."

It changes color periodically from white to amber and uses various altitudes always staying out of clear photo or video range. We are retired law enforcement and legal professionals who would appreciate some answers."

What was reported - Bright white light flying next to a Blackhawk helicopter.
