Two joined objects spotted during nightly observations.
I was outside doing my nightly(clear night) observations with my binoculars and video camera when I spotted a rather large object, brilliantly lit, coming on a straight path, SW to NE and at what appeared to be a high elevation. The light was reddish white, apparent size was that of a pea at arm's length, magnitude about three/ four times Venus. I began taping because I did not hear any noise associated with aircraft. As the object passed to my west, I could see that it was two large spherical lights, one behind the other. There were no "nav" lights, no noise, no change in intensity as these lights went off to the NE. I also checked the position of the ISS, which was mid Pacific, heading southeast.
