two red lights disappear at incredible speed

Walked home from a friend's house down the street at approximately 1:30 A:M. I wanted to finish my cigarette so I laid down in the back yard in a lounge chair and had the adjustable back all of the way down so I was facing the sky. While I laid there for a few minutes I saw a bright red light appear over the tree top of the tree on our property. It was much higher then the tree, quite a bit actually and it was really bright and just sat there and did not move. I thought it was very weird. After around 20 or 25 seconds another bright red light appeared and sat there beside the first red light. Both did not move for a few more seconds. All of a sudden they both did like a sideways Z....up.... down .... and then up, both in exact unison, and then gone. This sideways Z movement happened in about one second....extremely fast and they both disappeared. The hair on my arms stood up and I immediately had goose bumps.
I was in awe because I knew this was not normal and the incredible speed that these lights took off with, was beyond anything I had ever seen or heard of before.

I want to remain anonymous but wanted to tell someone. If you want to delete this then so be it, but at least you know. I am 67yrs old now and was 16 at the time.
