Circle over Cork (City)(Ireland) · Ireland

The report, as filed

While standing on our decking having my morning tea we noticed what appeared at first to be a satellite passing over us coming out of the west and heading in an easterly direction. It appeared to be moving too fast to be a satellite and then we noticed that there were more travelling in a straight line almost equal distances apart they appeared to be travelling in formation like a fleet of aircraft would do. This event was witnessed by myself and my son and daughter it was unnerving to say the least. I could not give them an explanation for what we had witnessed as I didn't want to jump to conclusions. Suffice it to say they were not satellites as they were moving much too quickly. But they were at the same height in the sky that one would expect to see a satellite. Also they made course corrections as they travelled from horizon to horizon in minutes. This is the first time I have seen so many at once.
