| Remarks | It appeared like a formation of birds against a dark starry night, but they moved way too fast for birds and completely soundlessly. Each shape in the formation glowed a bright warm yellow light and they moved across the sky - and our sight line - in a matter of seconds, quite low in the sky, shooting from left to right from a westerly direction. I have never seen anything like it, it was silent and beautiful. |
