I saw similar lights in the sky off the eastern coast of Sri Lanka back in 2017. I assumed it was military aircraft since that area is a hotbed of military activity.
But then it abruptly turned almost 60 degrees at a sharp angle - like a cue ball bouncing off the walls of a billiards table.
I don’t know of anything that can move like that.
- puchatek 4y agoSearch light hitting a cloud?
- jay_kyburz 4y agoI've also seen 3 lights fly in formation then the two on the wings make instant 90 turns and fly off into the horizon.
- jiveturkey 4y agowere you looking out into the sea? don’t know if you realize, but without good horizon references you lose sense of scale (relevant: supermoon is now) and you also can’t easily distinguish 3 dimensions. contrails going mostly horizontal can look quite vertical, for example. so this abrupt impossible 60* turn might just be the projection of a normal maneuver
- spaceman_2020 4y agoNo, it was right overhead in the sky. Small enough that it appeared like a star
- BiteCode_dev 4y agoMy observation seems very close to yours then. Nice to know it might be a repeating occurrence.
