Russellville, Arkansas triangle lights west of nuclear power plant

We were driving East on Interstate 40 , through Russellville, AR. The time was around 9:40pm. I saw what i thought was a low flying plane Move gracefully over the treeline about 200 yards ahead of us. I saw another set of lights less than a few hundred feet behind it. They just glided (for lack of a better description ) over the intserstate. I didn't think much of it at first until the second set of triangle shaped lights came to a sudden stop on the treeline just to the right (south) of us on the freeway. We pulled off to the shoulder, I flew out of the car and it was gone. Silent and instantly it disappeared as my buddy and I watched. I documented it on my map and wrote down where we were at, so when we stopped for the night we could see of there were any small airports nearby. As it happens, nothing but a lake and a state forest in is that area of rural Arkansas. It was about seven miles west of Russellville on I-40, a few miles from a Nuclear power plant.

The objects came from the north side of the road at aprroximately 9:40 pm . The object I saw first was triangle shaped, with a solid white light at front and the lower right corner, and a solid greenish colored light on lower left. It flew relatively slow and continued its path over the treeline. The second craft was similar, following extremely close behind and had solid white lights on all three corners. It made a dead stop less than a a hundred feet off the shoulder of Interstate 40. It hung there for what seemed like 30 seconds maybe shorter.
