Orange lights traveling N to S

Was about midnight, was sitting on my porch smoking a cigarette when I was observing the night sky. We had a major storm blow thru the region earlier that day, which caused power outage, so I was able to look at the night sky and see the stars.

There was no cloud cover, and dont recall the moon being out at the time.

I was looking in a northernly direction when I viewed these 2 orange colored lights traveling together in a straight line. What struck me as odd was they stayed in a perfect 'formation', one never led or fell behind the other, it was if they were 'attached' and moving across the sky at a pretty fast rate of speed.

They seemed to be at a high altitude, as I watched them, I viewed a lower flying conventional aircraft traveling SE to NW, intersecting the lights' flight path below them.

I watched the lights travel across the viewable sky for about 10 minutes until I lost sight of them behind trees in the south.
