3 groups of lights were seen moving quickly, silently, over our property

While sitting out by the fire just after 8PM, I looked up to see two glowing orange lights flying over our house. There were three of us who saw them and we all agreed that they were distinctly orange in color. They appeared to be flying fairly low and very quickly. The first ones didn't seem to blink or flicker. There were no aerial navigation lights either red or green or white. They did not bob or weave. There was no noise associated with them. There were airplanes flying in other directions and we could hear noise from those but not from these objects. The first two flew parallel to one another and then seemed to curve slightly toward the south. They were coming from the the west and flying towards the east. We then looked up and coming over the crest of the house were three more of these flying lights. They were flying roughly in a triangle and again they were glowing orange with a steady light. As they disappeared behind the pine tree boughs (which in the attached video causes them to look like they're flickering out,) another one came over the house. Jupiter was visible, and bright, but these objects seemed to be very orange; and had a deliberate, swift movement on a trajectory. They did not float or drift. When we saw the first two lights, I didn't have the presence of mind to video. But when the second group of three came over I did have the presence of mind to pick up my phone. I did not zoom in however. When the lights seem to flicker that is them going behind the branches of the pine tree. And my phone is moving around as I try to track them in this video.
