Was in the spa at 05:20 this morning looking up at an almost clear sky when I saw an object that looked like a star or planet begin to move quickly across the sky in an East North East direction. i figured it must be an aeropalne but very, very, high in the sky as there was no sound at all.
It took around 20+ seconds to move across the sky and out of sight. Another 10 - 15 seconds later I saw another following in what looked to be the exact same path as the first. Then there were about 12 more all around 10-15 seconds apart and all going in the same direction.
This started at around 05:35 (no watch so just a rough guess) and continued for maybe 15 or more minutes. Then another lot started coming through travelling North East around another 12 of them all on the same flight path and all spaced out about the same distance apart. As one left my view another would come into view some 10 seconds later.
They had no flashing lights/twinkle that I could see but they were so high up that the flashing lights may have been almost impossible to see anyway. Looked more like a planet than a star because of this.
They were subsonic as there was no noise. No I hadn't been drinking and they weren't meteors as there were no tails. There was also no vapor trail that I could see when the night sky started to lighten to blue and the last of them disappeared from my view.
I'm guessing there could have been more than 20 as I wasn't counting, just being fascinated by what I was seeing. Pity I didn't have a camera with me but I wasn't leaving the hot water to get one, only to find they'd all disappeared by the time I got back after soaking the carpet with chlorinated water dripping off me.
Anyone got any bright ideas what it might have been. Redeployment of Air Force or commercial planes maybe. Don't reckon it was little green or gray men, or an invasion force. Again I had not been drinking, I don't do drugs, I wasn't seeing things, I don't hallucinate and was fully awake.
