Formation over Fermoy · Ireland

The report, as filed

While opening the gate to get the car out, I looked up to night sky saying to myself wow the stars are bright this morning im keen starglazer and often out with my telescope. I thought I saw a shooting starnlike flash in the sky, but what alerted me then I saw at least 14 objects of round lights looked like moving stars in the sky appeared. I thought maybe these were satellites passing over me from the east to west direction. There appeared to be moving extremely fast like jet fighters Ireland does not have fast jets and these were too high. Then I noticed that there were travelling in a straight line almost equal distances apart they appeared to be travelling and moving in formations like a aircraft. I tryied to film them on my phone, but it was too dark there were as high as the stars. I have no explanation for what these were. Gone in a matter of minutes arcoss the horizon all I know I saw what I saw.
