Flying objects seen while watching Leonid meteor shower

I had woken up at 0400 to watch the Leonids meteor shower. Clear skies Temperature apprx 45 degrees. Went out back slidding glass door to see if meteors were visible since I live near large city. After watching for a minute, saw first meteor, went inside to wake my wife. Returned outside with a blanket so we could lay down and not strain our necks. My wife came out at apprx 0410. We had been watching for about twenty minutes when I saw objects. They were directly overhead moving from southeast to northwest. I could not tell how high they were, could not make out any detail; except that they were light grey colored, circular, did not have any lights or emit light, and no sound was heard. They appeared to be the size of a pea at arms length. Being near dawn I initially thought they were aircraft with sunlight reflecting off bottom. But the two craft seemed to change course toward and away from each other several times, which I didnt think any plane would do. We watched the for about three minutes, till they went out of site. Continued watching meteors for approx ten more minutes, than went inside to get ready for work.
