A double tiered object seen in the sky from Lake Ridge, Virginia.

On 4 October, approximately 3:30am, I was on the back deck of my townhome in Lake Ridge, VA. I was facing South/West when I noticed in the distance above the tree line (about 45 degrees) double tiered lights (angled) of red, orange, yellow, almost like the sun setting in the clouds. I did not have camera but did not want to leave to get it because I was curious as to what I was looking at. The top tier seemed to move over the bottom tier and vanish. Then the bottom tier seemed to shrink into a star-like ball. Then it vanished. The whole incident seemed to have lasted about two minutes. I am curious if anyone else saw this and reported it. And, also want to know if it could have been gas pocket of some kind.
