My location is approximately 33.974° N latitude and 81.313° W longitude with an elevation of roughly 541 feet above sea level. While looking west, I noticed a bright light that immediately stood out because it did not resemble a normal aircraft or satellite pass. As I continued watching, I realized the light was actually composed of three separate luminous orb-like objects of similar brightness. The three lights appeared coordinated and repeatedly separated and reconverged while remaining within roughly the same region of the sky. At times the lights appeared aligned horizontally, and at other moments one appeared above the others creating a triangular configuration. The lights would separate outward, creating visible space between them, and then move back together again. When they converged into a tighter grouping, their brightness appeared to increase. This separation and reconvergence behavior repeated multiple times during the observation. The objects did not appear to follow a straight flight path across the sky but instead remained in…
