Three erratic large orange lights off the coast of Garden City , SC

My wife, kids, and I were walking on the beach and noticed 3 large orange lights appear off the coast of Garden City, SC in the air. The lights were not in motion at the time.

All of the sudden they turned off one by one. Right after this they came back on at the same time and were in motion at a very rapid pace.

They came to a stop again and remained in place for over a minute. Eventually faded away in a way I've never seen an aircraft do.

There wasn't anything normal about it, it's something none of us have ever seen.

I'm not sure what it was but I also heard other people talking about it as we walked along the beach that also found it bizarre.

The next day I looked at google earth to see if there was any land in the direction and there was clearly not.
It's my guess that the object were around 2 miles away and 500 yards above the sea.

The event lasted around 3 min. It was pretty cool to see.
