Two silver disks in sky off autobahnI was driving north on A-62 in the direction of Trier at 0820 in the morning and I recall there was one other car on the autobahn a ways in front of me. To my right (east), I saw what appeared to be two silver, flat disk objects moving diagonally up and down in the sky over the hills above the village a little ahead of me off the autobahn.The sky was a dark gray color and it was drizzling rain. The objects appeared flat and shiny silver and perhaps about dime-sized from my vantage point. They appeared to have a sort of tail of light that moved with them.I took my foot off the accelerator to slow down and cleaned my windshield thinking they might be a reflection of some kind but I could still see them after I did that.After maybe 20 seconds or so, trees and terrain obstructed my view, but I looked back in that direction afterward and did not see them again.After I saw this, within about a mile, I passed the Potzberg parking rest area. The surrounding area is rural and includes Wildpark Potzberg.This is the second time I have reported seeing something like this in my life, as I saw a disk when I was 7 years old near my elementary school in 1977. However, I have not in the many years in between seen anything like this again until now.
