Strange light circles over Lake Gregory fireworks show--Hundreds must have seen it. Light then splits in two.

Strange light circling during fireworks show over Lake Gregory area of Crestline, Ca. Show started a 21:00, I saw light at about 21:20 and thought it looked strange, no flashing lights, no sound heard, a white light moving fast. I was in a different location than my family, they said it circled about three times or so, and people were looking at it and saying "it must be a stealth or an F-14". Some said it was a UFO and one nearby man timed it's wide circle at 3 min-40 sec. My wife said it headed about due West and split into two! Hundreds, maybe thousands of people must have seen this "light". I think the fireworks show ended at 21:25. I may be off by 5 minutes or so. I was at 5100 ft. and it seemed to be low at about a 30 degree angle. Lake Gregory is at 4700'. I am a licensed medical person.
