Location: Egg Harbor Twp, NJ, USA

Shape: Formation
Characteristics: Lights on object

2 sets of red/orange glowing objects seen just after midnight in south Jersey.

It was just after Midnight on new years. We were outside lighting some fireworks, when we noticed two glowing orange/red lights in the sky traveling from the northwest towards the northeast.

They were fairly close to us, maybe a mile away and relatively low altitude of maybe 1000 feet high. They were traveling slowly at the same speed and distance from each other at about 200 feet from each other if I had to guess. They traveled slower than a plane and were completely silent. We were able to see them for about one minute before the disappeared behind the tree line.

About two minutes later another two of the same objects traveling in about the same path went by. These two were much farther apart (maybe 3 or 4 times) from each other as compared to the first two.
