3 bright orange oval objects floating slowly overhead then slowly disappearing one by one

Seattle WA on July 4th 2009 at around 11PM We were walking North on Woodland Ave after viewing the fireworks at Gasworks Park.

We noticed 3 bright orange, oval shaped objects in the sky. They were the size of short grained rice and they were a fist length apart. They were glowing and illuminated.

They were traveling horizontaly from North to South at a slow pace going into the horizon at an incline; slower than an airplane and faster than a satelitte.

They were almost directly over us to the west. We were in a neighborhood mixed with residential and industrial buildings.

The middle light seemed to rise above the others, then the 1st object, the one on the far left faded, diminshed and disappeared the other two did the same into the same spot.

From the moment we discovered the objects, it took about 3 minutes for them to pass over and disappear. They travelled about 8 fists across the sky.

Soon after; about 1-2 minutes later a commercial airplane flew above the objects path going in the opposite direction (North).
