Light over Osprey, FL

The report, as filed

I saw this over siesta key (from my vantage point on the bay in Osprey) tonight at 7:30p. It was a large, orange-red, solid light that had another close above it. They started to rotate counter-clockwise and the distance between them and they grew larger; as I assume it was moving in my direction. It began a slow ascent laterally (to the south) at about a 45 degree angle and then vanished. It was followed shortly after by three separate large, solid, orange-red, solid lights that appeared (one by one) from below the horizon and followed the exact same path before disappearing. The sky was very clear with a few noctilucent clouds sparely about. There were approximately 3 planes present moving in different directions and at much higher altitudes (distinguished by their flashing lights). The odd lights I describe were much bigger, solid and different in color than any aircraft I have ever seen. The whole ordeal took about 20-30 minutes.
