Location: Half Moon Bay, CA, USA

Shape: Light

I saw two high-altitude soft cool light glows, one following the other which looked different than the Perseid meteors.

While I was looking for meteors of the Perseid meteor shower on August 15, 2022, at approximately 10:00 at night, I saw two cool-colored soft glows traveling from the southeast to the northwest parallel to the coastline. They travelled one behind the other at a high altitude and lasted about 3 seconds and then faded away. They covered approximately 30 degrees of view during their travel and were separated from each other by about 5 degrees. They looked different than the meteors I saw during that time. Unlike the two soft glows, the meteors were warm in color, sharp in outline and brighter.
