5 orange lights seen above lake Washington, Bellevue, WA

My girlfriend called me outside to see some orange lights in the sky. She said there were 5 of them and were floating without moving and were in a V formation. When I got outside they had moved behind some trees but I saw them as the moved past the trees. They looked to be at least half a mile away but she said they looked much closer when she first saw them.

They were glowing in a dull, warm orange color and looked be round. They were not super bright but were quite visable. My first thought was that they were Chinese lanterns that someone had released but they were drifting south and I checked a local weather website and it said that the wind was north northwest that night (as it almost always is here) so it doesn't make sense that they were Chinese lanterns.

After a few minutes they drifted further behind trees and buildings so we could not see them.
