Two mutli colored lights appearing to be outside atmosphere moving very slow then fading away

On Saturday morning at 0145 Dec. 19, 2009 I saw two bright multi colored lights (red, green and blue) in the sky. They moved very slowly from south to southwest. I know they were not planes or helicopters, they moved too slowly. I do know a little about astronomy, the ISS and space shuttles. I make it a habit to know when the shuttle is orbiting with the ISS and watch for it. Point being I could tell these two objects were very high in the sky and did not seem to be within our atmosphere.

This lasted about ten minutes. When I noticed them they were almost in line with each other. One was on the left, the other to the right but a little below. The one on the right moved very slowly from the right towards the bottom of the other while it was motionless. Once in line straight up and down, they both traveled from south to southwest very slow then slowly faded away as you would see the shuttle do when it leaves the reflection of the sun.

What I thought was interesting was that they faded away while moving to the west towards the suns light. It also may be that they only appeared to move to the west. It may be possible that they were going deeper into space.

This occurred in the town of Campbell, Ca. I am hoping someone else saw the same thing from a long distance away. This would prove that these objects were in space.
