Orange light that set down in woods, got brighter, then left

I was at my car in my driveway (which is on a hill that lets you see a good long way over tons of tree tops) and I saw what at first I thought were airplanes. They were two orange lights and the one that was higher up was brighter. The dim one went out of view and again, I thought it was just an airplane, until the brighter orange ball seemed like it was getting closer. I then figured it was a helicopter (even though I have never seen a helicopter with that didnt have flashign lights and was a halogen orange), but I couldn’t hear it and it eventually landed on either a road or in woods, and then got brighter. I thought it might be a fire since it flickered, but then it got extremely bright (still orange) and came back up and then grew very dim. Then I realized it hadn’t gotten dimmer, it had just moved away from where I was very fast until it disappeared over the horizon.

There were also planes flying overhead
