Bright Orange Lights in Southern Indiana in NW Sky

I let the dog out around 9:40 pm local time & noticed a bright orange ball of light in the West-Northwestern sky. It appeared & then disappeared. I thought it was a helicopter at first that turned away from me (no sound). Then the bright light reappeared with a orange spike going straight up into the clouds & disappeared again. Again, maybe a helicopter with a spotlight? Then the orange light appeared the final time, splitting into two equally bright orange lights before they both disappeared. I went back out with binoculars, but nothing else happened. (In fact, I am going back out now.)
