Orbs West of Casa Grande, AZ

Traveling from Chandler towards Casa Grande, AZ on I-10 East. Approx 9:30pm. Observed bright object while fueling vehicle at Wild horse pass.

Clear night with a crescent moon. Object was clearly not an aircraft. Continued to periodically watch object while driving.

At a point I lost sight of object. At one point I saw the 2 orbs in a formation and they appeared to make a sweeping turn, somewhat closer to my position, and then fade out... Periodically the objects appeared to fade in an out.

Size was relative to a streetlamp at about 300 meters. Object was bright amber in color. At one point when I viewed the object it appeared to split into 2 objects and then fade out.

Continued traveling past rest stop when object was viewable again. Lost object behind mountains and when I was up to the 387 exit, I was clearly able to see the objects again, now there were 2. Clear and bright. I wish the cellphone I had could take pictures of the night sky.

Objects were very bright. Mostly stationary. I stopped for a few moments to look.

Proceeded to the Casa Grande Municipal airport to see if anyone would know what these objects were but the terminal was closed. Formation of objects had changed, before being horizontal, now they were stacked vertically. I tried to get the attention of a DPS vehicle to no avail. Objects are very bright but I am unable to judge the distance. Proceeded back home. I want to ask if these objects have any correlation to the Gila Bend bombing range as I do not know.
