Four objects flying over neighborhood

I witnessed two groups of two objects over the course of about three minutes. All I could see of each was an elongated amber light. I could not see any structure beyond the lights. They were steadily illuminated and moving at about the apparent speed and apparent distance of helicopters but there were no anticollision or navigation lights and there was no traffic on ADS-B services at the time. I could not hear any sound. They were traveling on more or less parallel tracks in approximately a NNW direction. There was no twinkling so I presume the objects were at no great distance.

I have seen Starlink constellations and this was not that. I have additional photos with angle measurements that I don’t want public since they’re stamped with coordinates.
