Light over Old Fort, NC

The report, as filed

I went out on the porch and was looking at the stars which were especially beautiful this night. I saw a red light flashing just behind some trees across the road. I thought it was a tower at first, but then I noticed a second red flashing light. I walked into the yard to get a better view and saw that they were moving just above the tree line. They moved to my left and they were flashing in a perfect call and response pattern. They moved fluidly and appeared to be separate objects. Their distance was not constant. They continued around to the left and over the hill until I could not see them. I came inside and searched for similar sightings and found one report that described two lights "dancing in the sky". This description fits what I saw. It was quite beautiful. I came out 5 minutes later and saw them near the mountains west of here, where they soon were out of sight. I saw an airplane plane fly overhead soon after they disappeared. I do not know if that is related. One other thing is that while I was watching them when they were within appx. 100 yards from me, I heard a crash in the house, which scared the death out of me. I ran in and my microphone had tipped over and landed on the ground. I don't know if ufos knock over microphones, but if they do, I find that very rude. I am 33 years old and this is my first sighting. It was very exciting, but I'm also a little shaken because they were so close to the house.
