Strange lights in the sky above Pismo Beach

On 4/22/6 at approximately 11:30 p.m., my family and I were at Pismo State Beach in CA, USA. We were facing north when we saw the light coming towards us. My sister said "hey here comes a low flying helicopter" because she saw the light coming towards us. However, there was no engine sound and we did not see any blue, red or white flashing lights on this object. The orange light was heading in our direction about 200 feet off of the ground at a slow pace. The light moved from side to side but not extremely far. Once all of us noticed this orange light coming towards us, it stopped, hovered for about 30 seconds and then just simply started to rise into the air. No sound, no burst from any engines, nothing. It just started to rise at a fast speed until the light dissapeared. About two minutes later, the same light was noticed behind us, or to our south. It was traveling north about 200 feet off of the ground. It was traveling fast and then the light dissapeared. It did not rise, it just dimmed out. After that all of us talked for a while trying to determine what we saw. I think we all knew what we saw, some of us couldn't beleive it, but I know none of us will ever forget it.
