Two, then one stationary red lights pulse, fade, then disappear offshore from Nehalem State Park

We were camping at Nehalem State Park. I walked away from the fire to observe the stars, and saw two red objects over the ocean at about 30° off the horizon, quite far offshore. They were stationary. They began pulsing and fading after about 30 seconds, then disappeared. I waited about 5 minutes and saw another one by itself this time. I called my son over, and we both watched it do exactly the same thing as the first two. I got a photo of the second occurrence, although it just looks like a small red dot on a black background. If these are planes as someone else in this forum suggested he saw by Astoria, they behaved like no planes I’ve ever seen, and if I was American I’d want to know what’s going on up there. Actually, I still want to know what’s going on up there. I can email you the photo if you like.
