8 lights going spinning in big circles. Very hard to get a footage as its mostly only vidible to the eyes not video camera. Got few photos. Very interesting. It kept on rotating in the same way for hours.

Five 'stars' moving across the sky. No defined shape, just five individual lights. One further behind with four up front. Each vanished around the same point. It is a clear night. No wind and aircraft are easy to pick out
