Two lights over Evansville, IN early in the morning

I went outside to smoke a cigarette when I notice a bright light in the eastern sky. At first I thought it was a star or planet such a Venus or something, however, I noticed it slowly moving in the South East direction. The first light to catch my attention was brighter than Venus on a clear evening. It was following another dimmer light. There were no sounds from them and they appeared to be far off in the distance. I watched them make their way across the night sky. Both objects moving in the same direction keeping the same amount of distance between them. The faded as the reached the horizon line. I live near an airport and I'm used to seeing objects in the sky, however, these two objects acted differently. I wouldn't have thought anything of it if there hadn't been two of them. The first one I saw dimmed quicker than the one leading the two lights. I've never seen aircraft do this, they have flight patterns and generally there are no flights out of our a! irport this late. I don't believe it was a helicopter because they usually fly solo. This was different.
