Ok, I saw the same thing tonight over Eastern Green about 9:40-9:50 as I popped outside to my shed. I'll paste what I put on youtube and expand on
it.
They flew almost straight over me, I'd guess 50-100m high. Not very bright, fire coloured lights, each a circlular shape, light fading from the outer
edge inwards, with a 2nd circle inside looking the same. At first I thought they were just lanterns, or something much further away, but then noticed
the uniformity of their movement. At this point I shouted for my brother to come and see.
Each moved seemingly independently but very accurately in relation to each other. Too slow for for an RC plane, dead silent on a quiet night so I'm
convinced it wasn't an RC helicopter either. They moved in a triangle shape pointing behind the direction they were moving. They almost looked like
Chinese lanterns but there movement has me convinced otherwise. After flying in a triangle 1 faded very dim (if looking toward the front; the front
right light), broke formation and noticeably accelerated ahead, about twice the distance of the previous gap. Then a second did the same (the back
light), fading and moving close to the 3rd before overtaking it. By now the 3rd was fading and I could no longer see the 1st because my view was
obstructed. We both think that they may have formed a line.
I am often sceptical when I see most of these videos on youtube etc, but I saw what I saw and I am completely baffled by it.
