Formation of approx. 30 glowing objects seen in an unknown type of formation (bird-like). Moving GIF scetch included.
I`m a graduate at faculty of mechanical engineering. I underwnt fighter pilot med-exams and have confirmed excellent eye-vision. I`m also very familiar with all types of aircraft, helicopter, other airborne crafts and satellites, their in-flight behavior and day/night identification. I`m also familiar with stars and other astronomical objects that may be observed with naked-eye or binoculars on night-sky.
I wrote complete data of every one of series of events right after they happend.
Location: (on the balcony of my house) Hotedrsica, Slovenia
Air temperature: little above zero C
Clouds: 0/8 (clear)
No sighted air traffic (towards E and SE commercial flights can be observed about 7 over horizon coming into Ljubljana/Brnik airport area)
First 1/5 of moon over western horizon (hidden behind house), Hale-Bopp comet behind the nearby hill. Light pollution of sky zero (rural area).
Car traffic in vicinity: zero
Wind: none
Observer in dark area, no lights in field of vision.
Event:
I was lying on a deck chair looking straight up, covering approx. 80 left and right, 30 down and 70 up from vertical line (legs facing west). After observing stars through binoculars for a while, I decided to proceede naked-eyed. After a while an object appeared from behind the top of the roof of house wherer I was. Size of objcet was approx. 20 times 6, movement vector 120, no sound, 15 per second. I tracked it over 90 of sky for 6 seconds.
Object was composed of numerous lights (approx. 30 of them), at visual magnitude of +6. Flight path of object went through Coma Berenices and Leo. Object was transparent (stars behind it were visible). As said, object came in from the direction of my legs, proceeded through zenith after what I stood up, turned around and watched it egress behind the roof of neighboring house.
After this event (after 10 minutes) I observed 4 satellites in 2 minutes time.
