At one point, there were three bright lights motionless in the sky in the form of a triangle and after a few seconds of being stationary, they all move away from each other in different directions. Definitely not your typical satellite type of motion/trajectory.
I assume that you didn't get any footage of these lights? It would be great to see them.

If you don't have video, then if you tell us the date, time & position of your aircraft and on what bearing the lights were we can check the astronomical and orbital parameters to rule in/out Starlink satellites as a possible explanation. ... ?
