Looked up and in distance at very high altitude we saw a group of 4 objects surrounding 1 object and 10 others in irregular line nearby

The objects appeared to materialize out of nowhere, no vapor trails, no descent, they appeared to fade into view and later fade out again with little to no directional movement. Most appeared as small white circular or possibly squarish objects clearly visible in the clear sky. 10 of these were in an irregular line across the sky that looked like the Big Dipper, and 5 were off to the right in a group with one object in the middle surrounded by 4 others. They were at approximately at 2:00 in the eastern sky relative to our location. The one object in the center of the four appeared to have some red and silver colors. We grabbed binoculars and that object appeared to be oblong but oriented vertically. It appeared to have very short triangular shaped extensions on either side of the object, but did not look like wings, more like part of the overall shape of the object. They appeared for about 15 minutes and they just faded away, no obvious movement to either side or up/down.
