Two Completely Silent Illuminations Slow and Low

On or about the date reported, my son and I were camping in our RV just off South Fork Ahtanum Ridge about 10 miles west of Tampico. While sitting outside by the fire and watching the sky I notice two lights moving from west to east. Initially I believed these were aircraft. As a few minutes passed and the objects came closer, my first thought was why no flashing marking lights? Dismissing the thought due to possible observation angles and possibly seeing only the front I waited until they came directly in front of us and then began to seriously consider something wasn’t right. The objects were far too close to each other and secondly didn’t make a sound. The ridge above us was around an elevation of 6500 ft, the objects were no more than 200 to 300 feet about the ridge line. (Less than 1000 feet above our location) Never at any angle was there a sound or any flash of strobes. The proximity of the two objects defies any commercial control and the speed was t! oo slow for any military AC to my knowledge. Everything about the sighting felt wrong and the senses continued to confirm it. The lights moved behind a tree line out of sight to the east.
