Circle Lights Over the Ocean from Beaufort, South Carolina

It was about 11 p.m. and there were about 100 people (scattered) on the beach facing south east. It was a very clear night and many stars were present. A bright, white light appeared. Then a second, right next to the first. Then a third next to the second. Then a fourth next to the third, and then a fifth next to the fourth. There were five aligned circles of light, with the one on the far left being the biggest. Then, one by one, starting from the right, they "extinguished" or disappeared. This was out over the ocean, no more than a mile, and above the ocean as well.
