What did I just see ?

Just was outside around 11:45pm Monday 5th Dec and saw something I am not sure of that I hope someone can shed light on.

I looked up at the moon and my first thought was wow what 2 planets are in alignment with the moon right now. Then I noticed they were moving in a southward direction . ie from the moon which overhead tending west moving towards SCP.

They looked like planets or stars both moving at same speed about 4 fingers apart. They kept the same distance almost like tethered satelites which is what I thought they were but then strangley the pair did not keep moving in the same direction but in unison veered more south easterly staying same distance apart. They def changed course which is what threw me.

Any ideas what these were ?
