At approximately 20:35hrs greater than what conventional aircraft (40+ thousand feet) a brightness of two very strong white lights appeared amongst the clear night starry skies. I was was not looking up however the sudden brightness brought my attention to the stars. For about 35-40 seconds the objects lights were very, very bright and moving slowly east, northeast and "away" from earth, then began to dim over the remaining minute of viewing time until they became less viewable and dimmer. Both objects appeared in unisen in their movements. The objects were not traveling across the skyline, yet just slightly in a direction away from earth. About one minute after their dissapearance, another object travelled from s/east to n/west as a whitish, redish, orange light which did not have the characteristics of a "shooting star" at all and was much faster than a satelite. This object traveled in a straight line and did not vary in brightness and did not appear to be encountering earths atmosphere. My wife would neither agree or disagree that these objects were not of our planets origin and jokingly says that if they are visitors from another part of the universe they likely decided to leave as soon as they got here because of what they found.... I laughed, however I beleive this siting has merit as UFO's and will watch this site for other reports.
