Reddish-orange light over downtown Spokane, WA.

I was sitting in the park with my friend, stargazing. I suddenly saw a reddish orange light moving over downtown Spokane from what looked like the east.

It seemed too fast for a regular plane and as soon as I pointed it out, it curved hard towards south south-west, directly away from my pointing finger, and kind of corkscrewed, until we couldn't see it anymore.

About 5-7 minutes later, a plane appeared, taking almost the same path as the light, but much slower.
