4 reddish-orange lights, 3 of them closer together over the ocean, flashing on and off in a sequence.

My husband went outside around 9 pm and saw some lights over the ocean. He called me out to the porch and we could see them clearly for about 5 minutes.

There were 4 lights with 3 of them being closer together and one kind of separate. They were reddish orange in color and very bright. It appeared that they were flashing on and off in a sequence. After several sequences they disappeared.

Approximately 5 minutes later two of them reappeared in a different location, not too far from the original location. They were only visible for a few seconds and then were gone.
