The guy said that it cannot be "kites with lights":

I was coming home from the store when I noticed two triangular objects flying over a wooded area about 5 blocks from my house. objects were changing color. it did not appear that they had lights on them but they appeared to be made of light. one was prominently green, the other was prominently blue. they had two orbs trailing them, although the orbs did not seem to be touching the object they followed it and they changed color as the object changed color and they changed the same color as the object (as if they were connected to it) there was also a red orb in the front of the object but the red orb did not remain lit the entire time.

At first I thought someone was flying "kites with lights" I say that because they were moving like kites move when someone is doing tricks (dipping and ascending rapidly then hovering) I ruled out the kite theory immediately as they were flying over a wooded area (and what idiot would fly a kite in the woods) I also thought of a hang glider but there is no take off point for hang gliders where I live.
Anyway I saw another car sitting at a stop sign adjacent to the one I was sitting at I approached the car and asked the occupant if they saw what I was seeing (to make sure I wasnt loosing it!) she said yes. so now realizing I wasnt halucinating, I rushed home to get my camera. by the time I got back to the spot were I saw the objects it was only one left (the blue one) on the video you can hear the crickets, you can hear my voice, you can hear the cars passing by. but you cannot hear any noise coming from the object.

I was very nervous, my hands were shaking, my heart was racing plus I was on full zoom, so the footage is a bit shaky. I was trying to zoom in so one could see the shape of the object and zoom back out so one could see the way it was moving. it was making sharp turns that Ive never seen any plane or helicoptor make (as I said it was like a kite) it would get small and then big very quickly as it moved far away and then near again. one of the times when I tried to zoom in (which would have been a perfect shot) the object became blury but you can see that it is changing color. if you pause the video at different parts you can make out a definite shape. anyway I lost sight of it when it went behind the tree line and I never saw it again. notice at the end of the video right before it goes behind the tree line it is heading in one direction and then quickly changes direction.

I took one frame apart (the most stable I could find) :

looks more like a kite with lights
then a alien ufo..

is it a ufo sure because the people
seeing it don't know what it is.
also i do not see why the drones woud
have lights like that especially the stealthy ones.
they usually just have 3 lights

"i was coming home from the store"

so if its in usa i suppose the vid was shot at about 8 9 o clock?If so it could be a remote controlled chopper toy

and i did notice a car passing by and not stopping to check it.

And the person who shot the video has Parkinson because i couldn't make anything out of it

Yep it does look like one of them pesky LED Kites , I suppose its to the youtubers credit that they did mention it in the title .

I have seen the drones and they have
3 lights. they look pretty incredible and can hover.

Well, it's my Youtube account, I downloaded the video from Mufon, then converted it to .avi and upload it to my account...

Any idea where I can find such a LED kite with this triangular shape?

We have a store here at the mall of america called air traffic where you can get that kind of stuff. not sure if you got one in your area though.

The thing with these low tech toys is you can make them yourself , so you could take the time to look online for a similar one but chances are its a custom build .

YOU could ask these guys

Dale The Smurf" Murphy did it!

Nice video, however i think this has a much simpler explanation than anything extraordinary,
To me it is simply a kite fitted with either A) LEDS or B) Halogen lights,

to acheive the fast speed it would be quite plausable to acheive this by flying the kite out of the window of a moving car
