Two red/orange round balls of star-like light hovering over us then disappearing.
My wife and I had just left her parents house and were driving home. The area we live in is a dark area in New Hampshire away from city lights/other light pollution. We were driving on the road, headed southwest. It was a fairly clear night and up in the sky, almost exactly overhead, but not quite (since I was able to see it out of the windshield) I saw two fairly bright red dots. They looked like stars but clearly were not, as they were a red to orange color. They were spaced apart, maybe the length of a 12 inch ruler if one were to hold it out at arms length.
I (a college educated stock broker) at first thought what I was seeing was seeing were airplanes, but both dots were stationary. After about a minute, one of the dots abruptly disappeared. The other dot stayed but slowly faded away to nothing. I am not sure how long they were in the sky, we saw them only a minute, but they could have been there before (we had only just turned onto the road and saw them nearly immediately). My wife (a college educated teacher) saw them as well. My first thought was possible military flares, but we don’t have much military activity in this area of New Hampshire. Since we were in the car, we were not able to hear if there was any noise accompanying the lights.
