Initial data
An eyewitness from Amsterdam saw more than four blue lights swirling in the clouds.
He's writing:
I saw about 5 big blue lights in the clouds, and at the same time small lights circled below and slowly disappeared with the clouds.

Hypotheses
Light sources on clouds
Lasers, searchlights, car headlights and other light sources of sufficient power can form a column of light in a dusty or foggy atmosphere, various patterns on low clouds, fog or haze. Also, the rays can highlight parts of the cloud, objects or birds, giving them bizarre shapes.
Searchlights can shine with one beam, several. They can be stationary, move, and also form spinning carousels on the clouds, which can change shape and color.
It often seems that the light source is located at the point where the beam hits the cloud, and not vice versa.

Investigation
The description of objects, as well as the mention that they disappear in a place where there are no clouds, gives the right to assume that these are searchlight rays on clouds.
