Saw lights flashing through the sky over the highway in all directions. Formed circle and rotated, kept getting large then small

They were white lights almost like flash lights. They were zooming diagonally horizontally and vertically. Would disappear and reappear and then would come to a circle of about 8 lights and rotate while making a large circle then small again and would disappear and shoot through the sky. Did this for about 30 minutes as I was driving down the highway. There was originally one light, then 3, then 8. Called my family as I started into a panic attack on my way to work. Eventually disappeared as I got towards the city and there were more lights that were making the sky not so dark. There was no trail, it looked like circle shaped flashlight beams. They were a white hazy color. Looked so close to me.
