Two Stars flying parallel to one another at undescribeable speed, then stopping on a dime momentarily to only part in differant directions from each other simotaneously.

As a child I slept in the backyard quite often in the summer time. I was about 11 yrs. old gazing at the stars above on a clear night when I saw 2 bright lights that were the same size as the stars I had been watching, suddenly shoot across the sky parallel to one another coming to a complete stop imediatley. It's difficult to guess how fast they were moving but if I were to do so I would have to say more than 600mph.They sat in possition for maybe 3sec. Before they flew off in two different dirrections one due south and the other due west at the exact same moment. They were gone just as fast as they arrived into my view. Even as a child I knew this was nothing created by man. This has not been my only experience and consequentially get a bit angry at those who try to denounce the possability that we are not alone. Thank you very much for all the time you have spent in the field of UFO's.
