Five fire ball like lites disappearing and reappearing. Digital zoom camera showed C shaped formation and even a silver shape form

I was turning off the water in my garden, when I seen two lites far away looked as if they were signal flares. I watched as one started to fade out, then reappeared on the far right moving up and down side to side. Then another appeared just above the second and looked as if it split into two. They would stay in one spot for around one minute and fade reappearing a second later on the far opposite side.

I asked my wife to grab the video cam and digital cam. I video taped several minutes of this and zoomed in with the digital cam and found they a C-shaped in every picture taken. In some pictures what looked to be lite colorful moons in the background and somthing silver in two other pictures. In a couple of the pictures I included my boat to make sure the C shapes were not me moving the camera.

Three Jets zipped thru the sky from Tampa in there direction and just before they got there the lites disappeared. The jets turned around and headed back to Tampa.

I'm in my early 30's. Colledge grad in electronics.
