Three football shaped orange lights ,in a line, flew over at a high rate of speed .then about 10 seconds later a 4th one flew over. They were traveling south to north.they flew off in the distance then disappeared. They made no sound that i could hear. They seem to be flying lower then the usual air flights

I was sitting in my hot tub when I noticed 2 orange circles in the sky. The colors were constant and non-changing, and not blinking, etc. They were in a straight line. They appeared to come from the south and head north. I was facing west and got to observe them for about 5-7minutes. They did appear to be moving similar to the speed of a plane and in knowing the typical flight patterns near by I would guesstimate them to be 20-30k feet from the ground. Obviously, this could be completely off depending on their actual location, size, etc. I quickly grabbed my phone and took 2 pics and a small movie.
