2 faint-orange V-shapes in the sky on a clear night going north-east

Don't remember the precise day of October. Stepped outside facing west around 11pm, clear skies no clouds, dry atmosphere, no planes, silence outside. Saw two large, very faint orange V shapes moving slowly towards the horizon heading north-west at around 300 degrees, one to the side and slightly behind the other. Both V's were the same size: checking at arms length, the nail of the pinki finger could fit inside the widest part of the V (approximately the size of the moon) They were moving slower than the speed of an ISS passover, and the V shape kept pointing downwards as the V approached the horizon. They did not flatten out visually as one would observe a delta-shaped plane do approaching the horizon. Only the leading edges were visible, and it also seemed as if the leading edges of the V were reflecting sunlight rather than emitting light. Both these observations led me to think the V must be very large objects in orbit, heading north-west - in other words, in a retrograde orbit. There are no regular flight routes in this direction at this location. While there is a military airport in the region with F18s flying on a regular basis, their approach path is not overhead, and there were no military flights at this time. Also, F18s flying towards the airport visually appear much smaller and become a single point approaching the horizon in the sky compared to the V that I observed, which remained basically the same size all the way to the horizon. There was no sound during my observation.
