Five intensely bright flashing lights at high altitued in bright daylight.

Whilst travelling north bound along the M1 motorway in Nottinghamshire U.K. my wife enquired what the bright flashing light was high in the sky. There were three other occupants the vehicle and we all looked and saw a large bright white light flashing on and off at a slow pace. This continued evey few seconds and when the light disapeared nothing could be seen even though it was a bright sunny day. We were all amazed and confused to what it could be. the light was intense. After about one minute and in the same direction other bright flashing lights appeared as if they were communicating with each other. We all agreed there were at least four lights maybe five. We continued to travel along the motorway and opened the car windows for a better look. We noted other motorist looking at the same thing. The lights continued for about four or five minutes. Before the lights disapeared I noted one of them move to the 2 o'clock direction stretching as it did before disapearing. We are all professional type people and of reasonable intelligence, but we are all bemused by what we have seen. We are absolutely sure these lights were not aircraft but have no alternative explanation to what we saw. I felt sure that other people must have seen what we did and expected to hear something on the media, but to date I've heard nothing.
