Witness Testimony

"definitly not aircraft but admitedly speed same as usual satellitesAs I enyoy watching satellites I look at the sky a lot. The fact that I am a seagoing Officer gives me lots of time in perfect conditions (no obstructing background lights). I spotted thes satellites? that were moving in perfect triangular formation from the north to the south. With the experience I have I can exclude the possibility of these objects being aircraft. Maybe though there are satelittes that move in non changing formations."
