Hey, So last night where I am was exceptionally clear night and I was watching the skies with my relatives. And we sure saw some weird things up there. Pretty much saw atleast 6 moving 'dots' they looked just like a star but I noticed that these would actually move, pretty much in a straight line it seemed. But the weirdest thing about some of them, is that they would flash and blink, BRIGHTLY. Like the brightest flash was bright enough to show its location to me while I was looking in a totally different place for it. Not every one we saw blinked or flashed like this though, only a few did, but there was two distinctive lights, A quick flash and a more pulsing light that went brighter than surrounding stars then dimmed a bit.

We could follow each of these dots we spotted until they completely dimmed or disappeared in the sky, they never 'streaked' across the sky like meteors, they weren't planes like we also saw that night. But they moved at almost the same speed as a plane, but obviously looked like 5x higher altitude, and like I said this lights literally looked like a star does but they creeped over the sky slowly. We discussed what they could have been. A few ideas are, Space Junk, Perseids, Satellites, Or of course, UFOs haha.

So I want to ask, I thought the perseids 'streak' across the sky quickly, is that right?
I thought it would be space junk at first but two lights actually flashed twice themselves so that is odd for a burning piece of junk isn't it?
Satellites seems like a most likely explanation, but again I always thought they moved alot quicker, and do they really pulse or flash up there?
So my thoughts are if its neither of the above, must be aliens ahah. Taking pictures of me and the earth lol.

Any people out here care to discuss?

Last night the stars were scintillating pretty strongly. It's entirely possible that even the satellites were scintillating. I once observed three satellites in delta formation. I never was able to confirm that satellites were sometimes "flown" in formation until 20 years later. I read an article recently about how they were experimenting with flying them in formation in the 80's. Back then, my first thought had been a giant delta shaped object passing over us.

What time were you observing?

That would be really strange to see a delta formation of sattelites

no

actually theres a whole fleet of satellites in a polar orbit which contribute to a few joint projects in data-collection
the formation is named 'The A Bus'.
they intentionally fly very near to each other to cover almost the same area in the same time

So its not unusual to see 3 satellites in a delta configuration

however they are dim as stars but still visible with the naked eye, but one can clearly see other stars behind such a 'triangle'

Yes when I observed the delta of satellites it was obvious that there was empty space in between them. When the sun is under, but close to the horizon, is when the satellites glisten the most.
