Show in the sky!

We thought at first that we were seeing a shooting star. It had a bit of a tail, not very visible. The star shot down (as a shooting star does) then slowed down, turned the opposite way, shot across and then disappeared. We saw about 6-10 of these in about a 10-20 min period of time. I'm not sure how long it actually went on as we eventually stopped looking. We were on the beach in Quintanaroo. Whatever it was, did not appear to be in our atmosphere. They all definitely seemed to be in space. Just for verification of what we were seeing, we asked an employee of the hotel, whom was also watching all of this happen and he confirmed that he had never seen this and that it was not "normal". I'm not sure what these were, but I have never seen anything like this!! We continued to look every night for the rest of our trip and never saw it/them again!
