The speed was already looking jittery, I thought maybe my eyes were tired but my wife also saw, then the trajectory changed in almost a zig zag motion, sudden rapid and fast. Then we saw another object that looked the same cross paths and as they crossed paths they both changed direction again. We noticed in the span of 10 minutes another 6 objects behave the same way, two of which came close to each other then changed trajectory following the same flight path with one another. As we are quite aware of the flight path in the area, we know the speed and mannerism of aeroplanes and these were moving a lot faster while also making sudden trajectory changes. Random flashes were also noticed but they were too sudden to really look at. This…
