Sighting,UFO,Lights,Orb
Between 4 AM and 4.30 AM. Cold clear night with few clouds.
Two friends saw three glowing objects (ball-like in shape i.e: 'a tiny luminous moon') soft green in colour, moving at a steady course, on an east-west bearing, at a 70-degree elevation, about half mile plus away.
Duration of sighting: 8-10minutes.
They thought at first the object/s may be a satellite/s. What they thought was interesting was that this event preceded by 10 minutes, approximately, 3 'jet' aircraft displaying blue and red flashing lights flew past. Two of them flew quite low, the other a little higher.
[Military jets on exercise over populated area, flying low, at 4 o'clock in the morning!]
