1999-05-10 - Edinburgh (UK/Scotland) - Formation

a formation of aprox 15 tiny red oblongs in an oblong shape ,1 inch in size due north of the city. with a small number of things of the same nature flying in and out of the oblong,note the sky was crystal clear.

the sky was very clear and the stars were very bright , and i like to identify constellations.whilst looking up something caught my eye, first i though cool a satalite ,i'll track it for a while, but it was a bunch of red dots .as i looked harder there appered to be an oblong of red oblongs/diamonds 3 by 5 directly north of where i was standing. they only covered the size of an inch squared at the most. then i noticed some were breaking away from the formation then dancing around then reforming. first i thought it was a light effect from a laser or something , but there were no clouds in the sky at all, so i ran back to get my sister to take a look but they had gone. i am usually a sceptic but i find this kind of stuff interesting.but what i saw i can't explane
