2 objects hovering for 30 seconds, then dimmed and disappeared

Woke up for work, was letting my dog out in the back yard which faces west, instantly noticed 2 very bright "planets" close together to the northwest. Watched them for 30 seconds or so, then one of the objects dimmed and "went out". 5 seconds later the other object did the same thing. I'm a bit of a space and aircraft geek and this was something I've never seen before. Also the way they dimmed out was weird. You could almost still see the outline of the object for a second, like seeing a tracer some a glowstick. I woke up this morning and rushed down to look at the same time but there was nothing. The morning of this sighting was extremely clear, not a cloud in the sky, with all the other stars out.
