5 bright orange lights moving through sky from due East to due North; disappeared in sequence

At 20:42, I took my dog out to use the bathroom and noticed three orange lights coming from the East, heading North, in perfect sequence, in a parade. I observed that they were silent, non-blinking, fast paced, spaced evenly between each light. They were orange, approximately three times larger than a star, moving at approximately 300-400 miles per hour. After seeing the third one coming through the trees, I ran in the house and alerted my family to see. We ran onto the back deck, observing the two lights left since I had entered the house. The lights disappeared in sequence at the same time. We were looking at the sky for five more minutes and observed two more lights appearing in the same direction, same heading. I had my daughter use her phone to take pictures of the lights as they moved through the sky. The second light, following the first, disappeared, and we followed the other going due North out of sight behind the trees. They were also silent and! looked like bright pumpkins going through the sky. They also appeared to be the same distance apart.
