I was lying in bed about to fall asleep when I was awoken by a bright light. When i first saw the lights i thought it was a search helicopter. As I looked at it hovering, it started moving then the one light sudenly split into four more lights when this happened it slowly started moving upwards then it shot up into the sky very fast. After I lost sight from my bed i got up and ran over to my window where all i could see was a very small light floating into space like when you let go of a balloon. I lost sight initially from my window when the object shot up because of the size of my window, then i lost sight the second time because the object was so small i couldent see it anymore.
