Orange Lights seen near the 5 fwy in Burbank, CA

We were driving on the 5S freeway toward Burbank. In the sky there was about 8 orange lights in the sky. They were first arranged in a formation that kind of resembled the symbol for signal strength we usually see on our phones.

At first, I thought it was some kind of tower for the airport, since Burbank Airport is nearby.

However, as we kept driving, traffic slowed down. We didn't know what was causing the sudden congestion, until we noticed many drivers were slowing down to look at something in the sky.

Wanting to see what they were seeing, I looked up too and that's when we saw them. Only, by this time, there was only 2 orange lights left. They seemed unusually low in the sky.

As we scrambled to record a glimpse, the two orange lights ascended into the sky until they went out of sight.
