The formation veered off their course and then accelerated higher into the sky at an approximately 45 deg angle, flying higher
At 6:19am on 10/14/2020 I walked out of my house and looked at the sky to see if the sunrise had started yet as I was getting ready to have my morning coffee before work, and I observed 6 craft flying north/northwest, flying in unison, each about an inch apart by my view (obviously much farther apart). I heard no sound and all I could see with my naked eye was six white lights. After about 10 seconds the formation broke left (which to me was west, they broke from flying northwest to west generally though still slightly north, and they flew toward the sky instead of flying parallel to the horizon as they were). They appeared to speed up and after about 5 seconds they were gone, out of my sight. They moved faster flying away after the veer than they were generally, but overall they were traveling very fast. About a half hour later I looked outside and saw a contrail of sorts, perhaps a jet chasing the crafts...the contrail went in the same direction as I last ! saw the crafts.
