3 lights signal each other

I was leaving Columbus heading down state route 23 going to Jackson Ohio. Before I got to Circleville I saw 3 lights in the sky. About 10 times bigger than a bright star. They had a washed out yellowish glow to them. I thought it was just bright stars or a good night for stars until they all shut off at the same time. I thought it was weird but just kinda shrugged it off as helicopters. Until I seen it again. So I just grabbed some food in Circleville and was on my way to Chillicothe then I saw them again! The very left lower one turned on first almost like it was signaling the others to turn on. So the other 2 turned on for a few seconds all then all of a sudden the 2 on the right (not the signal light) started shooting out 3-4 other equal sized lights! Both of them! Them the lights they shot out turned off and then a few seconds later they all shut off. I was freaking out I called my fiancé then the UFO report agency. They couldn’t do anything over the phone but I tried my best to record it. My phone case makes it fuzzy and there is a lot of light pollution being on the high way so I couldn’t get good quality but when I was recording the signal light (very left) turned on. At this point I was in Chillicothe so the lights being a plane or cell tower was out of the question. Also it stayed pretty in line with stars so I drive about 45 minutes and they were still in the same spot! But as I was saying the left one turned on and for a few seconds it stayed on then it flickered for a few seconds acting like it was trying to get the other attention but nothing. Them about 4 minutes later it turned on the the middle one turned on for a few seconds but the third did not appear. They shut off and that was the last I seen of them.
