Orange and white lights cruising eastward toward Orlando.

I was heading east on Highway 50 in Clermont, Florida for work this morning, 1/29/2019 at 5:35 AM., Saw a pair of bright lights headed east at around 500’, moving at a speed of about 200 miles/hour.

The lights were not flashing, and one was immediately above the other either on a single structure or in very tight formation. Their relative position to one another did not deviate, and they did not turn. They drove directly eastward in a straight path into the clouds above Orlando.

When it was overhead, I could not see a structure against the black night sky. I only saw the top light as bright orange, and the lower light as bright white.

This structure/formation did not make any noise like a low flying jet on approach. As I proceeded east from Hwy 50 to the Florida Turnpike, I saw the flashing lights of approaching aircraft from normal planes. What I saw did not look like these.
