Two orange circle lights flying side-by-side; one went straight up and the other went off into the distance and both disappeared.

Flying from southwest to northeast over Middletown, CT, roughly 100 yards apart side-by-side for approximately 70 miles or so.

One went straight up into the sky and disappeared 40,000-50,000 feet up and the other stayed on a straighter course and disappeared into the distance.

They were both orange lighted circles roughly 1/10 of the size of a full moon.

At first they appeared to be either helicopters or planes but there were other planes around which did not look the same as these circles.
