Location: San Antonio, TX, USA

Shape: Formation

Group of star like objects moving rapidly to the north over the San Antonio airport 12:36am July 10, 2008.

I was sitting on my backporch facing north when I noticed a group of what looked like stars, about the brightness of Vega which is straight up in the sky at this time. There were 5 or 6 of them in a cluster and then one trailing. They were moving rapidly to the north. I had only about a 30 degree window of sky from the edge of my roof to the tree line. I live just southeast of the San Antonio airport and they were moving at 10 degrees north just west of the north star Polaris. At arms length they covered an area about the size of my thumb. Before they reached the treeline it seemed the one in the rear had caught up with the main group. There was no sound. My wife and I witnessed something of the same sort back sometime late April or early May in the evening right after sunset.
