First impressions:
First video could be a satellite formation. The "sample" satellite seems to be moving very slowly, indicating a high orbit. NV would make a very dim satellite visible. But I think it's birds.
Second video could be birds but seems more like aircraft in formation. I like the idea of IR markers. Similar to this:www.oxley.co.uk...
The covert and NVG Friendly capability can be installed on the aircraft in one dual mode package. F-16 and Jaguar are two examples of dual mode covert IR and NVG Friendly optical filter modification in one aircraft package. Dual mode, Covert and NVG Friendly EZELED visible lighting is also readily available in a dual mode installation. The combined EZELED LED and IR diode product is extremely reliable and easy to install; minimal aircraft wiring changes are required.
Third video really looks like birds to me.
I don't see any turns in any of the videos.

Geese underbellies are white and it looks like they are flying over a city the flapping of the wings would constant change the contrast of the light reflecting on there underbellies giving off a constant light. but the other 2 still look like ufo or military ir markers considering stable flight path and lights dont move except for in one which moves slightly

if anyone can produce a video of geese (or any bird) flying using night vision, then we can discuss this possibility. Until then, it seems preposterous.

Cool videos first thing that popped to mind watching the second vid was a remote control plane w IR chem-lights attached to it. We used IR chem-lights all the time in Iraq while doing night ops so we could see the vehicle in front of us. Just like a reg chem-light plastic you snap the catalyst inside and it glows but the IR version was only visible with nightvision. Just offering up another possibility.

Generation 3 night vision goggles and a camcorder. John has a pair of those. I was up at his mine and its amazing what you see in the sky. His set cost 4,800.00... a little out of my league
