two orange oval shape objects flying over Mililani, Oahu Hawaii

At 5:30 a.m. ~ 5:45 a.m. on 12/11/05, one oval orange object moving horizontally toward Northeast from Southwest passing right above our house in Mililani. No blinking or brilliant light, but dime orange color light (Note: the sunrise time was 7:00 a.m.). The weather was clear: cloudless night sky. Its altitude cannot be determined. The object must be flying over the high altitude or possibly outer space. I could only compare the object with star lights and its dime orange color. The object seemed to be moving slightly zigzag at times (it might be caused by the atmospheric effect). The speed was undermined, but it moved faster than conventional airplanes. I observed for about 3 min. and eventually could not observe it due to its distance.

While wondering what it might be, approximately 30 seconds or less than 1 minute later, I noticed another oval object (the same color and size as previous one) was moving horizontally from North to South passing over our house. According to the size and color, it must have been flying at the same altitude at the same speed as the previous one. Both of the objects never changed its color throughout the course of flying. No reflection of the rising sunlight at all. There are AFBs in our island (Oahu). They should know what these objects are.

The event background: I had to let my dog out in my backyard and just amazed by the beautiful night sky. So I was enjoying observing stars when I noticed these two objects.

I really want to know what they are. Thank you.

NUFORC Note:

We suspect that the witness may have observed a high-altitude jet airliner, being illuminated by the rising Sun. Just a guess. PD
