Several bright lights headed slowly towards horizon

On Sunday evening, Oct. 1st, we witnessed several bright lights heading East. They were so brilliant that we first saw them from inside, and had time to walk outside and watch as they continued Eastward, until they either faded away or passed behind the mountain range(Las Truchas). They moved much more slowly than meteors, and were flaring brighter then dimmer. At first we saw between eight and ten, then less and less. They were about thirty degrees above the horizon, and were seen to the North of the Santa Fe area.
