LARGE flashing lights set on horizon.I was standing out on the deck that stood 6 feet off the ground. This was late night around eleven. I was looking out at the horizon when I noticed 2 glowing orange/red balls in an area I would say they were approximately 8 miles from my location. These were huge! They were directly at my eye level. They were visually measured to be about 6-8 inches apart from my visual location width apart. They were glowing together at the same time and then one would go out then another and flash randomly. I would say they were about the size of the cap of a 20 oz pop bottle lid sitting right in front of a person. They both lit up bright and then just disappeared. Shortly after, about 5-10 minutes later there was the sound of military jets flying in the area.
