Two bright white/silver lights silently approaching two more formed w/them, then1 xtrabright red light formed while hovering over pond

My ex-wife(now) was pouting on our back porch steps as we weren't getting along/talking. Before joining her in an attempt to ease her mind, I turned all the porchlights off to enhance the clear night sky and sit by her. Just sat down, neither of us speaking, looking over the pond into the dark distance 2 bright white/silver balls of light/orbs appeared over treetops approx. 500 yards away. While swiftly/silently coming straight toward us and becoming brighter, 2 more lights formed/appeared/began glowing with the other two. They seemed like free-floating and not connected/attached to anything from my observation. I/we were speechless the entire time until it/they stopped/hovered over the pond maybe20 or 25 feet and a really bright red light came on within the cluster/group of bright white/silver lights/orbs. The red light was really bright if not brighter, hovering, over the water when I said out loud, but softly, in awe "a fuc##!ing drone". That was the only explanation I had for a short moment before realizing it was not a drone. After hovering over the water they(lights/orbs) continued traveling same path slowly, quietly, eerily over my/our right shoulder at tree top level (50'-75'). This is the moment that led me to believe they were not connected but free-floating without a shape. They drifted on out of my limited sight of maybe 500 feet due to living within tall trees.
Grabbing my laser sighted rifle and/or phone/camera crossed my mind during this event but not once did I take my eyes off of this mysterious moment.
When I asked the wife(ex) if she saw that she replied "It looked like it had panels." Unfortunately, she is not experienced (don't care) with observations of our skies as I am.
