3 circular craft flying in a circle pattern in 2 locations

I was driving home from a buddies house in penfield pa, and noticed 3 circles in the sky; moving in almost like a pattern. Thought nothing of it, figured it was spotlights from hunters spotting for deer. I just figured they were messing around and moving the lights in a certain pattern. Fast forward 10 minutes, about 10 miles down the road, I see the same circles and going in the exact same pattern, almost like each circle was chasing the one in front of it, while still remaining in a circular pattern. Then they all switched directions and started to go in a counter clockwise pattern. Then just disappeared. They did not disappear like a light does in a dark room, they did not immediately go away, they slowly faded away while moving in an upward direction. Almost as if they went completely vertical and shot into the upper atmosphere. The circles themselves were a perfect circle, no immediate haze or anything around them but they had almost a glowing ring around the outside, not connected to the circle itself
