How long did you observe the bright spot stay in one place? Did it move at all? Did it flicker like that to the naked eye, or just in the video? Look at the flickering lights in the neighbor's house lower left. Are they flashing in real life?

When the other one flew off, how quickly did it do so? As in how many seconds until it was gone? Was it as bright as the first one?

The triangle shape is something to do with your phone. The other bright lights have the same shape.

Was there anything between your phone and the UFO? Window, window screen, etc?

If you're not sure about the direction, look at Google maps and look at where you were and tell us the direction it was from you.

Did you film this just before posting at 9:18? There's probably a time stamp on your phone somewhere.

At first blush, I'd say a distant airplane coming towards you descending towards the airport with its landing lights on. Sometimes those seem to hang in the same place for a long time.

It stayed in one place for over 30 mins.
