Location: Mobile Bay looking west 30.41218° N, 87.90521° W

Earlier this evening my family and I saw a couple of lights fade in and out on the way back from dinner. I pulled into a park on the bay nearby and watched a series of lights (up to 5 visible at one time) emerge, maneuver, and disappear for almost an hour. They didn’t show up on flight tracker (though several planes flew through the area that were on flight tracker) and didn’t have any flashing lights. We were looking west from the eastern shore of the bay. The lights were probably over Mississippi sound. I called my father (who lives on the opposite shore of the bay) during the sighting and asked him to walk onto his pier and see if he could spot them to the south and west. He couldn’t see them from his vantage point, which leads me to believe they were farther away to the west. My son speculated that the lights could’ve been after-burner flames from fighter jets, which is plausible. I’m positive these were not satellites and it’s highly unlikely that they were planes with landing lights circling an airfield. I’ll include a video for reference.
