From one to 7 flare like fireballs coming in and out of brightness and following the same path, like ww2 foo fighters

I was on the phone outside the cinema and could see three teenage boys filming. I thought it was a rat till I heard them say is this an alien invasion. They filmed for a few mins and walked away. I walked to where they had been and I could see it so I shoutted to them what the hell is this and they came back.Togeher we watched between one and three up to seven circular mini suns , resembling a war film flares all falling but they were not exactly on the same path they would come in and out of brightness, like a flare but they would come on from nothing get bigger until the size of a small sun in the sky then dim again and eventually dissapear but unlike flares they reappeared and would move slowing around the sky and then disapear. It is in a flight path , I don’t know if airports use anything like flares but they were not flares. Just best to describe them. They looked like they were just appearing through the sky from some where else and then the sky would swallow them up again. I was in Coatbridge looking toward Glasgow at a north east direction. I noticed as they would disappear a small whispy black residue, not smoke, like when you put new carbon brushes in a machine and turn it on. The dust didn’t look like smoke. It lasted around five mins. Man made or not something was in the sky that was extremely strange.
