I went outside to the back yard to smoke a cigarette when I observed a glowing white object moving slowly in the eastern sky. As I continued watching, it stopped and hovered for more than 5 minutes. After that time it began moving again in a westerly direction, towards me and over the house, stopping and hovering, changing it's path and then ascending. During this time the color of the object changed from glowing white to glowing red/orange, not gradually, but instantly, like someone flicked a switch. I ran inside and grabbed my phone and used the camera to try and capture images and video of it, Samsung Galaxy S . During my attempt to get it on film, my camera froze up a few times and I became nervous and started to feel like I was getting a headache, but that may be due to my having to look up while filming and keep my focus on the object. As the object reached & passed over the house towards the west I noticed another object similar in look and size, but white, northeast of the object. At one point they were almost parallel but with a good distance between them. The original object I observed seemed to be getting smaller (ascending) while the other object remained in the same area. Then they were both gone. Total viewing time of the incident was approximately 20 minutes 6:38 pm - 6:58pm. I'm unable to upload any video or images on here, and not certain if my camera was able to capture it all, but will attempt to send the information if contacted by an investigator. From quickly viewing the last images and where the object was against other stationary objects, it shows a faint shape/color.
