Don't spose you though to take a photo or video of this 20-30min light show?

With the first incident, the one closer in view, yes, but on an Android as that was the only option available. A truck driver actually pulled over onto the shoulder of an exit ramp to watch, but few others seemed to take notice along the same stretch of highway.
Once the road travel ends I'll try to enhance what was recorded because, upon replaying, it appears farther away and more indistinct than it was in the 5 minutes that were recorded. 15 additional minutes were recorded at nightfall but amid a number of lights from inside the car reflecting against the window. Since there is no viewfinder on the Android, it wasn't possible to know that the angle was bad without hitting stop and replaying it back.
The only explanation that comes to mind would be three separate drones, but not of that size and not emitting light.
The second incident I didn't bother to record since, again, only the Android was on hand and the arrangement was higher up in the sky. That time was directly overhead right near Wesley Medical Center and I only noticed it at night through the sunroof because a passenger jet had taken off from Eisenhower Nat'l Airport, which the arrangement reacted to, changing position in an effortless zigzag that arced around, seemingly to give it a wider berth. The movements were like watching a game of Pacman or a fly inching across one's windshield.
The first became obscured by the treeline as we drove and the second by cloud cover that rolled in before 1am.
