Saw 3 orange orbs appear and hover over the ocean not moving

On May 18, 2022 around 11 pm I was at access 2 in wrightsville beach, NC sitting on the beach. I had had a long day at work and wanted to decompress before heading home. While I was looking at the ocean, I noticed a large orange orb of light appear. It was so bright. It was very low in the sky, almost right over the ocean. It was located in the direction of figure eight island. I watched in amazement for a few minutes before I started recording. Videos do absolutely no justice to what I saw in person. Over a 15-20 minute timespan I witnessed 3 different lights but only 2 at a time. One would appear and then slowly fade out and then another would appear right above and to the right of the previous one. I couldn’t tell where they had come from because they kind of magically appeared. After hearing the uap congress hearing this past summer, I went back to watch my recorded videos again and then edit as much as possible through my iPhone. I noticed that it appears they came up from the ocean. I am attaching my screen shots of the video where I tried to make the objects stand out and show detail as much as possible. I have uploaded the original videos to YouTube. Everything was done with an iPhone 11.
