Full Description & Details

I was in the garden at approx 2105 on 17th January 2012. On a clear night, such as this, the sky is always full of stars and I love to look around the sky at them. As I was gazing up at the sky admiring the beauty of the stars, I suddenly saw what looked like two stars with red backs moving across the sky - they were definitely as bright as stars, mainly white and I could see red at the back of them.

At first I thought it was a airplane as my location is close to an airport and there is a lot of air traffic in the sky. Because of the amount of air traffic I am very familiar with the look of an airplane. What I saw was definitely not an airplane. An airplane has two white lights with a red blinking light somewhere in the middle. The moving lights I saw were not aircraft - there was no tell-tale blinking light and did not resemble an airplane evening vision.

The lights were about two hand widths apart from from where I was standing in relation to the distance in the sky. It looked as if they were one behind the other. They glided across the sky at the same kind of speed you would see an airplane travel across the sky. They didn't follow the route of the outbound airplanes that I observe - airplanes travelling out will rise steadily upwards. These two objects kept the same level of travel. They glided across the sky from my left to right. I watched them until they went out of view.

I have never seen anything like it. I know it wasn't normal. I wanted to share my sighting with someone and I hope you find this interesting.

Thank you

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?
