Witness Account

Standing in my back garden around 04:20am I was facing South looking up at stars when 7-8 objects came from a Westerly direction and congregated around the area I was observing. The star constellations; Hercules, Corona Borealis and Bootes would have been in the background. The objects were V shaped, bright white like the Sun was shining on them and manoeuvred like seagulls, I would guess as high as long haul aircraft or satellites. After 10 seconds or so in the area I was observing they broke away in two directions, 3 flew off in a SW direction and the rest flew S-SE direction at high speed, they were out of sight in around 5 seconds.
