Looking due west,observing Ursa Major directly above,2 disc-like objects entered my field of vision at an extremely high rate of speed.

At exactly 11;30 pm I was pointing out Ursa Major to my fiancee',facing due west,looking directly up when 2 disc-like objects coming from the N/NE passed my field of vision at the lower portion of the constellation.The objects were entirely parallel with one another(side to side)until I lost sight of them in the S/SW horizon.The estimated duration of my sighting was 4-5 seconds.The objects were yellowish-white in color,leaving no trail,no sound at all.Having a general understanding of aerial velocities of man-made devices,I can assure you these were not satellites nor were they anything like a meteor.I suppose if what I saw was singular rather than multiple,and flying in an intelligent formation at high speed,well,I guess I would've gone to bed instead of phoning you good people.
