Any chance they could have been recog lights of two separate aircraft heading straight for you in the distance (thus they have no apparent movement)?
I got 'stalked' by a flame cherry red object at the wrong side of the clock over the Gibson desert about a month ago. Ended up being Venus, low to the horizon and rising, just the atmosphere doing bizarre things to it - colours, and size..as tracked me, it would retreat, get closer, retreat, change hue from red to yellow back to red ....
The old eyeballs can't tell the difference between something close and far when it's a point of light!
As you could in no way accurately tell the distance of the object, the only clue comes in was it above or behind the altocirrus?
There are many ways of making lights in the sky do straaange things...I won't post the better UFO hoaxing methods here (never know who's watching
) but it aint too hard to make something that makes the papers.
