I am a 50 year old college lecturer from Penzance in Cornwall England, who with my wife Pat were holidaying in North Corfu and visiting my brother and sister in law who live there.My wife, brother, sister in law and myself were driving back from a dinner party in Kassiopi North Corfu. The date was 29th July 2009 and the time 00.50(am). I was the driver and will add completely sober as were my passengers. We were heading to Perithia Village where my brother (David) and his wife (Lyn) live. It was a clear and warm starlit nightAs you leave Kassiopi there is a long straight well lit stretch of road about 400 yards long after which there is a long stretch of bendy road. To my right is the Ionian Sea and Albania to my left inland Corfu which is a high hilly terrain.As I left the town and entered the straight stretch of road I could see two very bright orange lights on the hill line and assumed them to be originating from Lotses which is a large village up in the hills situated above Perithia and thought no more about them. I entered the windy stretch of road and drove through the little village of Imarolia and drove up a slight incline away from the village which is followed by a long sharp left hand bend. On completing the bend I then noticed in the sky above and in front of us 3 bright orange balls accompanied by a much larger (x 4/5 larger. My brother who was in the passenger seat shouted out 'what the ...���. Everyone screamed stop the car which I did about 100 yards on just off the road. We all got out of the car and assembled around it. I asked if anyone had a camera knowing mine was back at base in our beach bag. Unfortunately nobody did. So we all watched the following events almost in complete silence apart from the odd shouts of 'did you see that' when something spectacular happened. The objects did not emit any audible noise.The three small lights at first appeared randomly spaced apart and were situated I would guess between Roda (a town further along the road we were on) and mainland Albania. The larger light was above Roda itself. Height is difficult to estimate, they were very high in the sky much higher than the neighbouring hills of Corfu ad Albania. All of the lights appeared stationery. The three smaller lights then positioned themselves into a straight line. Well apart from each other in an alignment away from us. The larger light continued to hover well apart from the alignment. Then the middle light of the line up of small lights moved outwards towards Albania. The nearest and rear aligned light moved inwards towards Corfu and towards the furthest light to form a perfect delta shaped V. They continued to hover for roughly 30 to 40 seconds. The larger light remained unmoved during these manoeuvres. Then the furthest away light started to move off away from us and was followed by the light nearest Albania followed by the light nearest Corfu. They moved away from us towards Southern Italy and appeared to ascend at the same time. Not straight up but at an incline at I would estimate at 45 degrees. All three lights were out of vision within twenty seconds. The larger light remained in its original position for about another 30 seconds or so before moving off in the same direction as the others disappearing again within twenty seconds on the same trajectory. The speed of the manoeuvres was terrific and perfect and the velocity of acceleration away from us was greater still. I have watched 'The Red Arrows in England several times, this was nothing like that. The speed they moved across the sky was much faster than anything I have seen at an air display and the acceleration out of view faster than anything I have seen at all.We were filled with awe and disbelief during this spectacle and yet filled with excitement and euphoria to have witnessed this event.I am not claiming that they were aliens; I just cannot explain what they were. It s difficult to get across the speed these things carried out the display of movement and acceleration, I have seen nothing like this before..
