Bright light seen tracking an airplane, joined by another light and then disappears.

Looking north from my backyard into the clear blue sky, watching the planes in the distance just coming from DIA, I noticed a circular bright light a distance behind one of the planes and it kept the distance the same for about 5 minutes. It didn't look like a plane so I got out my binoculars and it was a round bright light, yellow and orange in color. It then proceeded to go higher into the atmosphere and was joined by another bright orange/yellow light and they seemed to stay apart, then come together, then apart and then after a minute or so they just disappeared. I would guess the planes from my backyard were about 25-30 miles north of me. The bright lights seemed to be about 1/4 of the size of an airplane. Thought they might be drones, but would have to be quite large for me to have seen at this distance.
