Two fast lights matching speed and distance across the night sky
My fiance and myself were out on our balcony having a cigarette, when we saw a bright light high in the sky. There were a number of commercial aircraft in the air to compare the light to.
The light we saw was not blinking, emitted no noise, and appeared to be moving faster than an aircraft and much higher up in the sky. It moved at a steady, unchanging pace across the sky for about a minute before it was joined by a second light behind it.
We approximated it's distance from the first light to be about 30,000 feet, and the trailing light maintained this distance until both lights vanished from view on the horizon. The trailing light at no point moved faster or slower than the leading light, nor got closer or father away.
Neither produced any sound, or any light besides a single bright colorless point of light (which in both cases dimmed perceptibly to a pinprick of light before brightening back up.
This occurred as a slow fade in and out, and did not seem to be a strobe or airplane marker light.)
