I let my dog out on the back yard which faces west. It was a clear night with just a few clouds on the western horizon. No wind, just clear, dark with the stars out. I just happened to glimpse up and a single light caught my eye, I thought it was a satellite at first, but immediately after seeing the first light 2 more followed, for a brief moment I thought “starlink satellites”, but then I immediately realised that they were in a perfect triangle formation, slightly dimmer than the surrounding stars, 3 lights in a triangle moving silently northwest in direction. The space in between the 3 stars was darker than the night sky just somewhat slightly. I spend a lot of time looking at the night sky and I am familiar with various sightings, this was the oddest thing that I have ever seen, I saw it clearly and my view was unobstructed, it was quite large flying rather fast, almost like it was gliding, silently, in a swift straight line. |
