Strange orange glowing lights in the sky late at night.

I saw 2 objects in the sky that looked like they were about 1/2 mile apart.with a pulsating orange glow caused by a brighter white light inside them. They moved across the sky in a straight line coming from the West and heading East.

At first I thought that they might be hot air balloons but they were moving way to fast for a balloon.

I also saw a fixed wing plane go directly beneath them and they were much larger than the plane. The objects seemed to temporarily dissapear when fixed wing plane came close to both of them and then both reappeared when the airplane got past their position.

All of sudden they both just vanished.

This is not the first time I have seen this type of object in the sky. I get up early for work (4:30am) and have to take my dog out to relieve himself, so a lot of times the skies are clear and I have seen these same glowing objects before over the past year.

There is no sound coming from them and there are no house lights on or cars traveling in the area at that time of day to create any kind of refracting light scenario.
