Two balls of orange light seen above the trees, one split into two!

Our little town had a small firework display for New Years. After we left the fireworks, we dropped our friends off at their house.

Before we got back into our car, we noticed a huge orange ball of light above the tree line (trees they were above were about 80 feet or so). One ball of light was moving and hovering in a figure 8 type of motion. Then it was joined by another. They continued to move and hover together.

Suddenly the first one split into two balls of light, one smaller than the other and they both headed west, one went on a downward motion below the tree line and the other went in a straight line west out of site very quickly. There was one ball of light left at that point and it continued hovering and suddenly it went west in a fast upward motion and continued on out of site.

My wife and I were sober and amazed. We can't figure out what this could have been.

We kept watching the sky out further were one disappeared and we can see two tiny white lights moving much further out. We have no photos and there were no visible fireworks continuing.
