Star-like lights stationary then move slowly and then quickly, disappear.

My daughter and I were in Santa Ana at 9:00 P.M. on the 9th, we saw 5 or so star-like lights in the sky (near Santa Ana but towards the mountains maybe?), some with blinking colors like red and blue, first there were 2 that were stationary in the sky, so still we thought they were stars but I realized there were no stars in this area of the sky and we watched them. They began to move very slowly, then more quickly and others appeared -- they grew bright and then would disappear. Shortly after this we saw a U.S. airforce jet heading for the area that we saw the lights.
