WHILE LOOKING AT THE METEOR SHOWER, MY BROTHER IN LAW NOTICED A RED OBJECT FLYING FROM THE SOUTH WEST SKY TO THE NORTH EAST SKY. HE TOLD MY SISTER AND I TO LOOK UP, WHERE WE ALSO THE THE OBJECT. THE OBJECT WAS VERY HIGH AND WAS TRAVELLING AT A GREAT RATE OF SPEED. WE WERE IN AWE BECAUSE WE HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT, WE HAVE SEEN SATALITES, BUT NEVER AN OBJECT WITH A REDDISH HUE. ABOUT 15 MINUTES LATER, I SAW WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A SATALITE, TRAVELLING FROM NORTH TO THE EAST. MY BROTHER IN LAW SAID THAT IT WAS NOT JUST ONE SATALITE, THAT IT WAS THREE. UPON FOCUSING MY VISION, I SAW THE THREE OBJECTS, ONE OF WHICH WAS WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A SATALITE. THE OBJECTS WERE TRAVELLING AT THE SAME RATE OF SPEED IN A TRIANGLE FORMATION. THEY WERE A FINGER LENGTH SPACED APART, AT ARMS LENGTH. WOW, WHAT A NIGHT...
