Flying through the night towards Oslo from Miami, we spotted several objects towards the star constellation called Ursa Major that looked like stars but went dim and lighted up several times. They also seemed to be moving left and right and up and down and seemed to be much higher up in the atmosphere than us. At a certain moment, three of the objects formed an upside down triangle before the objects dispersed in different directions. At one point, an object also started flashing several times. The whole episode lasted 20-30 minutes and in approximately the same location on the night sky in that Ursa Major constellation. Our location was perhaps between Virginia and Boston when we saw the event.

We initially tried to explain the occurrence by sunlight reflecting in the panels of a satellite but that doesn’t explain the movements of the objects
