NUFORC Sighting 155636

Occurred: 2020-04-23 01:15 Local
Reported: 2020-04-23 18:30 Pacific
Duration: 8-10 seconds
No of observers: 1

Location: Ottawa (Canada), ON, Canada

Shape: Formation
Characteristics: Lights on object

5 objects that moved kind of like birds in a V formation, but were lit up and glowing in the dark night sky.

Saw 5 objects flying in a V formation that I initially thought were birds because of their organic movement, they were fluttering a bit instead of flying smoothly like a satellite or plane. But they were glowing, lit up like balls of yellowish light so they couldn’t have been birds – not any I’d ever seen. It was 1:15am and very dark out, no moon or cloud cover. The objects appeared in the eastern sky, flew overhead, and I lost track of them towards the western horizon over houses; this took about 8-10 seconds and there was no noise. One of the 5 objects was more erratic than the others, kind of jumping in and out of formation. I was looking up to view the Lyrid meteor shower, but these objects were not like shooting stars/meteors (and I didn’t see any of those in the ~5-10 minutes that I was looking).
