Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina (United States)

My wife and I were sitting on the beach at Ocean Isle Beach, NC when we saw an orange glowing light hovering over what appeared to be a boat about a half mile out in the water in the southwest. The light slowly started rising up to what I'm guessing was around 500 feet and the glowing light went out. After 30 seconds or so a set of lights came on very dimly at first then slowly got brighter and began blinking in a rapid pattern of 3 very fast pulses of white followed by a single red blink. The object moved slowly overhead toward the northeast.As it passed overhead and began moving away, there seemed to be another set of lights on the far side that were pulsating in a different pattern. Eventually the object disappeared in the northeast
