I recorded these 2 very fast ufos travelling over Melbourne on the 17-4-2012 at about 10.30pm. Note the distance between them change then change back. This and the speed of travel is impossible for a pair of satellites. They also both changed direction a few times even when you allow for the camera tracking them. I saw a similar set a few days before.
Tonight I saw 3 very fast UFO's travelling as a group. They change direction of travel and distance between themselves. They look just like the twin UFO's I saw yesterday
