SIGHTING: TEMPLE, TEXAS (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"Came outside to answer my phone as to not bother my wife. looked up and saw a faint satellite as is not unusual. i have been observing satellites for over 20 yrs. very skilled i finding and naming them and observing iridium flares. it was observed as a satellite but then another one bacame visible behind it in a following nature. i have never observed 2 satellites in same orientation. then was super shocked to find a total of four lights. they were to faint to be planes (to high in altitude and moving to fast in altitude relation). they were perfectly spaced apart about 2 fingers held above my head between each. the observable sky in my yard is about 60 degrees, and they traversed the entire 60 degrees in about 12 to 15 seconds. there were no flashing lights and the lights faded to a degree as to be maybe similar to iridium flares, but never became invisible. i am 43 yrs old and have been fascinated with stars satellites for over 30 yrs. i own multiple telescopes and am very experienced in satellite spotting. these were no planes. my best assumption is that 4 satellites were perfectly set in sync with each other which sounds highly unlikely and if they were actually in space they would have been many miles apart."
