2 triangle shaped crafts with 5 lights seen with night vision goggles zooming north over the coast of Florida.
Four friends and I were using ambient light night vision goggles on the beach of Anastasia park in St. Augustine, FL on Saturday January 28th at 11:00 pm. I was gazing into the stars when something moving extremely fast, crossed my vision. I wouldn’t have thought much of it however, the objects were only visible though my night vision goggles and appeared closer than any of the other stars I was observing. The next thing I noticed was the shape that these lights where arranged. The 1st object had 5 lights arranged in the shape of an elongated triangle. This object flew at approximately 80 deg angle over our heads so I was able to get a direct view of the bottom. The other object was in the same shape but flying at a further angle. It had to be flying at about 45 deg over our heads, which skewed the shape into a staggered linear arrangement of the same lights. They were in my line of vision for approximately 3 seconds before they disappear from view. They were flying in the north bound direction and came from the south .I had just enough time to pass the goggles to a friend who caught the tail end of their flight and agreed it was not like any of the other stars in the sky.
Both objects were in front of the other stars because the shape around the lights blocked out the other stars it was flying in front of. Meaning the outline the 5 lights made on the 1st object was a dense shape and the lights were not flying separately, they were apart of a whole shape.
Five minutes after spotting these objects and getting the other four friends to point their goggles to the sky another single light (the same size/type of the lights on the other two objects) followed in the same direction and speed as the previous sighting. It couldn’t have been a satellite because they revolve around our equator with a flight path more like east to west.
((NUFORC Note: Satellites, almost invariably, either are in a polar orbit, or they have an easterly component to their ground track. PD))
