two lights over santa barbara mountains

Looking South-Southwest from Goleta, Ca. toward Ventura.

I saw a bright white light over the local mountain range. I thought it was a passenger jet with its bright lights on but it was not in the usual flight path going to the Santa Barbara Airport, and then I noticed it wasn’t moving closer as a jet should have been. It just stayed over the mountains. I thought maybe it was headlights from a car on Gibraltar Road but it could not have been a car because of the size of the light and the distance it was. Then another light showed up but it wasn’t as big or as bright and it also lingered. Then the brighter light disappeared for a few seconds then it reappeared. I watched for 20 minutes or more but could not reconcile in my mind what the heck it was.
