2 bright lights chase each other within an illuminated cloud for 20 minutes north of santa fe, new mexico

while walking through the arroyo behind our house (a canyon between 2 hills) my friend and i noticed two lights in the sky that seemed to be chasing each other in a circular pattern. we could not discern if the lights were independent of each other or some kind of running lights on a single object, as this was occurring behind a large, illuminated cloud. this occurred for about 20 minutes. about 15 minutes into our sighting the lights faded, and a single large glowing light occurred within the cloud for a second or so. the chasing lights then resumed for the remaining 5 minutes. when they finally disappeared, the cloud began to dissipate - the cloud was gone and the sky clear by the time we had climbed back up the hill towards home. there was no sound at all during this event. in addition, a single red pinpoint of light was visible at one point within the cloud.
