I saw either 6 or 7 distinct white lights that kept its spacing the entire time it was visible in the sky

On Sat July 10th 2021 I was sitting on the steps in front of my apartment building talking to my friend on the phone. I happened to look up & that's when I noticed the object. I told my friend I'd call her back & I hung up and got my camera on my phone started. I was facing south towards the city of Allentown Pa and saw what I thought was 1 large circle shape with 6 to 8 white lights that seemed to outline the object. The distance between the lights never changed and were perfectly spaced apart at all times. What I saw did not make any noise at all. Then on the second video I took I started hearing a helicopter coming from off in the distance. It came from my left and continued past the object I was originally videoing. I could hear the helicopter coming from way off in the distance yet this object that was directly in front of me never made a sound. I continued videoing until the light on the end of the building next made a reflection in my videos so that's when I stopped videoing. At the start of video 2 you can hear my voice crack when I speak because I had no idea what I was seeing. Also the local airport is closely. When they depart or arrive they fly directly over my apartment building in a northeast to southwest direction. There is also a hospital south of me where there are medical helicopters taking patients to the trauma center. But this object was going southeast to northwest in direction. There is no need for an aircraft to go in this direction nor do I remember ever seeing anything flying in the direction because there just really isn't any reason to. I am a Navy veteran which doesn't mean I know everything about anything. But I know what I saw that night I have no explanation for. Also in the video you can clearly see the helicopter shining its spotlights over towards the object.
