Pulsing light pusued by military jets

I live in Naples Fla,about five miles inland from the gulf, I viewed this occurence from my place of business which is very close to my home and in an industrial area but close to a well traveled highway. Well I it started a few days before this sighting that something out of the ordinary was going on. For approximately four days two military jets loitered in the area,several of my friends heard and watched them on several occasions that week. They stayed in the same exact area going about five to ten minutes out( west and over the gulf)and then returning almost overhead,I live and work very close to were they were doing this so I could hear them almost continuously. They did this All day and well into each night,could have been all night but I didnt stay up to find out. On the last evening that they loitered something strange happened, at 8:30 PM I arrived at my shop to drop off some equipment I had just purchased, I heard the jets as usuall and watched them as they headed away from me towards the gulf, I turned around and started to unload my truck,A bright light pulse( Only way I can describe it) cought my eye and I looked up, it didnt flash again for about 10 seconds(approx) then it pulsed again, a few seconds later it pulsed again but it looked like it was aimed away from the ground and towards the sky, then a few seconds later another pulse towards the ground. There were no other lights on IT and I couldnt hear IT, it was very dark out so I couldnt see a silouhette of any kind. So Im watching this thing and the next thing I hear are those jets heading back towards were I am but this time the engines are alot louder,I see one more pulse of light slightly west of the last pulse and away from were the jets are coming from and into an area that is cloudy so I couldnt see alot more. The jets arrived over head heading directly towards were the last light pulse occured, I saw a streek of light through a small opening in the cloud bank, Im not sure whether it was the jets or the object.My exact feeling at that time with the aggresiveness exerted by the jets was that there going to shoot this thing down, I watched for a few minutes in almost horror and fear and listened to the jets as they raced away. I didnt see the light ever again, the jets returned approx one hour later stayed approx one more hour and I never heard them again after that.
