I was driving home the evening of Saturday, December 14th, heading East along MN Highway 5, when I noticed above the tree line and slightly south of the road (which runs east to west) a pair of very bright orange lights hovering in mid-air. They were stationary and did not move for a few seconds, and all of a sudden they both moved downward at an incredible speed, with seemingly no acceleration. As they descended, it seemed that they came together a bit, to form what would have been a V, with both of their original positions as the top forks of the V, and their trajectory heading downward toward a common point. The left light started to descend first, followed after a split second by the right light. They seemed to move at the same speed, though it was so fast that I couldn't measure the speed. Suddenly they were gone, and I watched, waiting for them to return, but saw nothing.
