5 bright lights, moving in formation an then fading each after another. seen in south-west Germany (crowded area)Sorry for my bad English.Standing on my roofwindow, smoken a cigaret, i saw 5 lights, slightly red in color, like the Mars. The direction was to the west, a little souther. these lights were defininitly no aircrafts, like planes (they are flashing), and no satelites, these lights were much brighter.. even brighter than a plane at normal flying-high. they were moving, slowly to the south.the first formation was: * * * * * then they were forming a "W", very similar to Casiopaya.Then, the lowest object was moving away from the other objects, in direction of the horizont, fadeing while doing this, and was totaly dissapiert after about 4-5 sec. .following was the next higher object, in the same way.the other 3 lights were first moving from a triangle to a line. the more right light was following the other two, by moving in a similar direction, while fading.the last 2 lights were first moving into each other, nearly forming a single bright light, and the first was moving and fading, but to the other direction, to the east, seen from my point of view. the last one was following about 15 sec. after that.the whole scene lasted about 10 min. each objected needet about 4-5 sec. from the beginning of the fadeing to the dissapiering. Im totally perplex, because, this is a very inhabited area in the south-west of Germany, and these lights were that bright, that i could not be the only one seeing this phenomenon. but i couldn't find a similar homepage for germany, if you know one, please send my the address (e-address deleted), because i want to inform myself, if somebody else was also watching.my best wishes.
