Initial data
When I got home, I noticed two very bright orange solid lights moving steadily across the sky from west to east. Both lights were identical and brighter than the aircraft lights, and did not blink as in airplanes. I had never seen anything like it, and I invited my mother to witness it.
The sky was partly cloudy with a bright moon when we saw that the two lights seemed to be moving at the speed of a low-altitude plane, but there was no sound. As the two lights passed through the trees, the first one disappeared, but we saw that the second light continued on its way and seemed to be moving ahead of the clouds.
We watched as the one remaining light continued to drift eastward into the heavier clouds, glowing very brightly. Sometimes the solid orange light flickered slightly, but it continued to glow brighter than anything I could see in the sky.
I deliver newspapers at night and am used to watching night planes as well as meteor showers and even with satellites, and I am sure this was not of astronomical nature and there were no planes I had ever seen before.

Summary: As I arrived home I noticed two very bright orange solid lights moving steadily across the sky from west to east. Both lights were identical and brighter than plane lights and not blinking as a plane’s would. I’ve never observed anything quite like this and called my Mom out to witness the event. The sky was partly cloudy with a bright moon as we viewed the two lights appear to move about the speed of a low altitude plane, but there was no sound whatsoever. As the two lights went behind some trees the first one disappeared, but we viewed the second light continue in its path and appear to move in front of the clouds. We watched the one remaining light continue off into the east and into heavier clouds while glowing very brightly. Occasionally the solid orange light would flicker slightly but continue to glow brighter than anything I’m use to seeing in the sky. I deliver newspapers at night and am use to viewing planes at night as well as meteor showers and even satellites and I’m positive these were not astronomical in nature, and not any kind of aircraft I’ve ever witnessed before.
