Three lights fading in and out also moving at high speed.

Every morning on the way to work myself and coworkers have witnessed these lights. We all are prior military and have not seen anything like this before. They are only seen between 415 am and 445 am to the left of Venus about 20 degrees. They are mostly directly parallel with Venus. The lights fade in and out and move around each other at a high rate of speed. Sometimes they are extremely bright and sometimes really dull. We have tried to make sense of them and discuss them every morning when we arrive at work but have no good theories. So here we are looking for answers.
