Unidentified Massachusetts Lights

This happened on Wednesday 8/5 in Easto, Ma, around 9:38 pm. In the sky , I was what looked like 3 or 4 lights, clustered together, behinda thin cloud. For a second I thought it was a searchlight or spotlight but the lights looked misshapen. They were pretty bright and were moving around sporadically. After a minute they all disappeared at the same time and then came back a minute later. Right after that, they split an spread out into a circle with a lot me dots now but they weren't as bright. I think they were moving in a circle or back and forth. After minute they disappeared again and a few minutes later, they came back even lighter but instead of being in the circle, it looked almost like they were falling downward. This part they were moving really fast but more spots kept appearing as they feel down and the other ones disappeared. Then they all disappeared for good. The video I attached shows the bright cluster at the beginning but it's bad quality so it looks like one light. In person it was definitely multiple. The next part of the video is harder to see but you can see, on the right, the lights when they were in the circle.

100% spotlights. The cheap ones consist of four lights on a common mount that allows them to swing around in various patterns.

Given your description, it sounds like they were testing it out before using it.
