Lights staying still in sky that turned “on and off”

I was coming back home with my dad from the atm when I looked up the sky and saw 3 huge lights that I thought were just normal stars until I remembered that they were never there before and that in order for them to be that bright they needed to be really close. Everything changed when we got home and we stood outside watching when they started to move and turn off and on. I highly doubt this was a helicopter or a airplane to the extent that it was in the air without moving for so long. Afterwards I got inside and took my binoculars and I stared at the last light that was leaving and it turn from one night light into two lights shining different colors.
