Two bright white lights low in the atmosphere over North Carolina.

I was out with my dogs in the evening, being the sky-watcher that I am I noticed it is a mostly clear evening and two stationary really bright non-flashing white lights to the east.

I watch the lights for minute or two then they start moving, one to the east, the other to the west.

I also notice there is an airplane with it's flashing lights at a much, much higher altitude moving to the north east.

The bright lights move a good distance from each other then stop. At this time I can only see the light that moved west. After coming to a stop it seemed to get smaller and smaller. I watched it for about 10 minutes before having to go back inside.
