Full Description & Details

What I and five others saw this (sober ) evening...

time: approx 2350 local July 31st 2004

duration: approx 7 mins

location: guess 15-30km East of Essendon

alt: guess 10-20km

angle from horizon: approx 30 degrees

cloud: cirrostratus + some alto obscuring stars

event:

We noticed two intense, large, flame coloured lights estimated at 15-30km East of Essendon. The lights were well separated and seemed to hover for about 4mins.

The light that appeared higher or further East then appeared to move towards North or descend, whilst the other reacted in the opposite sense. Movement was not symmetrical and large separation was maintained.

The light that appeared to be higher dissapeared as it accelerated to what seemed an Easterly direction, whilst the second dissapeared soon after in an apparent South Easterly direction.

ATC did not record anything unusual.
