White and red objects flying in loose formation during the day, then fade out

It was an unusually nice day of weather for February and my girlfriend asked me to go sit by the pool with her. She spent most of her time on the phone while I laid there and watched airplanes crisscross the sky. There was also some sort of blasting going on at a nearby construction site that was entertaining. At one point I looked up at the moon, which was clearly visible in the daytime sky, and saw this string of lights underneath it. The moon was basically south from me and these lights were drifting in an easterly direction. 5 of the lights where white and kind of randomly blinking. 3 of the lights were red. I had the impression these were not emitted lights, but rather were metallic objects reflecting the bright sunlight. The red objects were fire engine red. They all seemed to be going loosely east together, not in a tight parallel formation, and moving slower than the other airplanes I had seen. I also had the impression they were at higher altitude. ! The odd thing was that two of the objects, one white and one red, where below the other 6, which were roughly in a line. Of the two below, it looked as though the red object had detached from the white object and was trailing behind it. Fairly soon the 6 in a line had faded out and could no longer be seen. This is in perfectly clear skies, no clouds, that had allowed me to see the distinct tube shape of several aircraft from one end of the horizon to the other. The two objects below lingered visible for a bit longer, but eventually the red object faded out. This left the one white object which appeared to curve more southward, moving almost directly away from me, and slowly fade from my view as it got farther away. These objects produced no contrails, but all higher altitude aircraft I observed that day had very strong contrails. Lower altitude aircraft were producing no contrails.
