unless airplanes make 90 degree turns?

red light on top white light on bottom about 12 feet distance in between lights. they were flashing simutaniously. was heading south looking across river when I seen what looked like a tall tower with these 2 flashing lights in the saddle rock area. I asked the driver "hey what is that light over there" and by the time we passed a set of trees so she could see, it started moving toward east wenatchee and she said a plane. but then it started moving to fast to be a plane and I said "I have never seen a plane move that fast before". It got about half way to horizon airport and instantly made a 90 degree turn heading back toward Wenatchee where the speed and altitude varied. We at that point knew this was no airplane. We pulled into the driveway and I stood outside for a good half hour and seen nothing further.
