We observed 2 bright red glowing lights in the sky above Gilbert, AZ. They were moving very slowly at a south easterly direction. THere were airplanes moving fairly close to them as they were positioned in on the flight paths to Sky HArbor Airport. They continued to move very slowly keeping the same distance apart. One appeared to blink out one time and would on occasion appear dimmer. The dimmer one disappeared at 20:14 pm and the other blinked out at 20:17pm. The airplanes appeared to be coming in much lower than normal and slightly re-routing.
