Characteristics: Lights on object

I went outside, looked north, saw one orange light start to move then another appearing to do the same, shortly after both fading.

It starts with me going outside around 9:13 P.M. (I know exact time due to video timestamp) to smoke by the river in my backyard. On the way down I see something catch my eye towards the north and I see an orange light in the sky. Ive been outside a good bit at night and I have never seen an orange orb like that in the sky (not mars or venus). It wasnt blinking either, which made me think it wasnt an aircraft. I pulled out my phone and started filming the first orb. It begins to move upwards at a slight angle for a few seconds, and then a second orb appears. The first orb fades (not sure if I get it on camera) while the second orb moves up. The second orb goes to roughly the same spot as the first, flickers gently, then fades back into the night sky.

The video has a lot of noise which is unfortunate, but I assure that there were no trails coming off of the orbs. These orbs were tens of thousands of feet in the sky, and traveling vertically. It is important to note this was a clear night, there was almost no cloud coverage whatsoever, and certainty not in the direction I was looking (north). Upon taking a screenshot of one of the videos and zooming in I can see that one of the orbs has three light sources in a triangular pattern. This is what led me to believe that it is a triangular shaped UAP, but could also be a chevron in form. I was the only one to witness it from what I can tell.

As far as how I felt during the whole thing, I would say surprisingly void of much emotion. Initially I was trying to debunk what it could possibly be, but then accepted Ive no idea and pulled out my phone to record. I wanted to take in as much information as possible, I just stood there and stared seeing what they would do and where they would go. It kind of just felt run of the mill in a way?

I do want to disclose that this was a couple weeks ago as apparent from the date, but the details are still fresh in my mind. It helps that I also have the video to jog my memory as well as show what I saw. I did not initially report it because I wanted to see if something was on the news or if someone else perhaps saw thae same thing and it was debunked.

Seeing as its important I will always give some details about myself. I am a 22 year old college student who also works a part time job as a technicians assistant. I am one to frequent being outside at night and especially looking towards the stars, even using an app to help memorize locations of planets and constellations. To put it one way, I do believe that there are things that we do not fully understand as humans however, I am not quick to assume these things either. If I see something unfamiliar in the night sky I am much quicker to pull out my phone to see if its rocket debris, a planet, etc. before I assume its a UAP. This has happened before and every time Ive found something to explain it, but this one I could not. This looks different than anything I have seen before, and I am convinced these objects were UAPs.

Video 6501 is the first, 6502 is the second, and image 6504 is a screenshot from 6502.
