Formation of moving lights split off and hover.
Around 7:40 PM Arizona time on my way to work, I pulled over as I saw what appeared to be five lights flying in formation that gave the illusion it was one large object. It could have been a military training flight with the formations, but I am not sure. The light they gave off I can only describe as looking like a dim orange street lamp color, but large and bright enough to be seen very easily.
After watching it fly in a single direction for a few minutes, the front three lights split up and formed a small-medium sized triangle. I lost sight of one of the lights in the back completely, and the other one was still moving in the direction of the other three at a slow pace. The triangle hovered for roughly three minutes. After those few minutes, the lights of all three simultaneously faded from bright to nothing, with a bit of flickering, lasting in total around 30 seconds.
Sometime in between the last sight of the back light and the fading of the three front ones, I lost sight of the last light behind a house. I tried moving the car to a better location, but they were already gone. That was everything I saw.
