Earth Orbit Altitude 3 Object White Triangle Formation

Devon, South-West England Time: 4:05am Location: Middle of a dark field I was gazing up at the cosmos and made an observation. Three faint points of white light were moving across the sky in a triangle formation. They kept this excact formation the whole time i watched. Was only just visible to the naked eye, way up high, i'm talking Earth orbit heights here. I'm just wondering, i know the international space station is up there, maybe that is what i saw, because i didn't realise that satellites travelled in formation, grouped together like that. Not a dramatic sighting but something i felt warranted a report When first observed, i thought it was just one ordinary satellite, but then i noticed the other two close by as well, not a tight formation, the three points were spaced apart, but definatly a triangle formation, no deviation of paths, a straight line trajectory from south-west to north-east, until i could not longer see it
