At the time of taking these photo I do not remember seeing the objects. They only became apparent after I looked at the photographs later. In the first photo two objects can be seen in formation side by side above and to the right of the aircraft in the second image, one of the objects is much closer and below the plane it appears to be emitting a small trail at the top. The second object remains roughly the same position. These images have not been cropped or manipulated in any way. The photographs were taken approximately 4 seconds apart.

Walking the dog for the evening, looked to the horizon above the housing estate… saw a ball of light which I though was a plane but it then broke away from what I thought was a light and it seemed to be pushing what looks like a cloud in front of it?? Just looked odd so took a photo and video

One object that looked a bit like a star at first. It then split into about half a dozen lights, before cloud crossed over them.
