I was on the beach after midnight with my friend. We noticed lights in the skies as there were no prominent stars so we found this strange. We noticed there were about 7-8 lights around eachother and that they were flashing what seemed to be ,blue , red and white.. They could have possibly been rotating and this could cause the flashing lights. We watched them for a while as I had seen a ufo before and knew what it was. They just hovered and some became more prominent while others seemed to disintegrate and dissapear completely.. The numbers started going down but a few remained . They were just hovering around not moving around alot but slighty it was noticable that they were hovering and not completely immobile. Then one shot off into the sky
