I've never seen anything like this before, two unidentifiable objects in roughly the same area going two different directions.

My son and I were in our driveway playing basketball. We saw a group of hawks wafting high above our home. My son asked me "Dad, what are you staring at? That orange thing up there?" I said "Yeah. You see it too?" It was a little bit larger than the size of a pin head and circular in shape. We watched it for a few minutes with the naked eye.

Through my binoculars it appeared to be a reddish orange color. It was moving in an easterly direction very slowly. It was very high in the sky.

My son and I took turns looking at the object. Then, suddenly it was gone. We looked and looked but could not find it again.

I then spotted a small white/silver circular object close to where we last saw the other object (it was very high in the sky too). Through the binoculars it appeared to shimmer/blinking. It was moving in a westerly direction very slowly.

They were way too high to be standard civilian passenger jets.

I ran inside to get my video camera. Of course, when I got back outside (30-45 seconds, tops), neither my son nor I could spot either object again.

Could they be weather balloons?

I tried to contact March AFB (a couple of hours North of San Diego), but could not get through to a live person. So I googled "how do I report a UFO" and found this website.
