Description: Two “fireballs” moving from SSW to NNE with a constant speed and more or less steady direction, without making noise. Very bright intensive light, as a big round shaped candle light when it is just lit. Sometimes more orange, then with a red colour accent. Moving with a continuous speed, horizontally in the night sky. At one time, the second object seemed to stand still for a couple of seconds, moving a bit from left to right and back. And then continued it’s way afterwards to disappear in the far sky.

My girlfriend saw two or three tinier balls underneath the second object. I didn’t catch those one’s. We were standing two streets away from each other.

Can’t have been a plane because I saw them from pretty up close, and these weren’t the landing lights of a plane ! The object was bigger compared to a plane that would be at the same distance and height.
