Jet's don't typically hover. In fact, very few modern war planes can, excluding some variants of the F35 and the harrier ofc. Are they helicopters or are they circling?
Definitely not. It was a single, jet plane and was just sitting there; completely still. It had three bright lights (one on each wing and one near the tail). I thought it might be a helicopter or a plane moving very slowly but as I got closer it became apparent that it was a plane, specifically a jet. It was odd looking and just stuck out. It was so still I almost thought it was just some very large drone type thing but as I got closer I could see the jet’s dark outline. I don’t know much about aircraft but could tell it was military.

My guess based on your description is the F35B. But those jets don’t have ability to hover for long periods of time.
