Yes i thought that too but, there were as i saw it ONE light
and ONE craft. And i doubt they pul AB for more than seconds.
NOT minutes, and DEFINATLY NOT for 3-5 min...

It's possible that it was a B-1 flying with an escort. B-1s operate in Europe quite a bit. They may been doing a training exercise. A B-1 in afterburner from a distance would appear to be one big light instead of four.

15:40 looks like it is just after sunset, so IMO a candidate would be the sun (beyond the horizon) glinting off polished aluminium of an aircraft at high altitude for a few minutes while the angle was "just right"

If you are an aircraft nut with a smart phone then you probably should get hold of the FlightRadar24 app which will often identify such oddities quite quickly.

edit on 25-11-2012 by Aloysius the Gaul because: (no reason given)

No sun shinying on craft no..Like i SAID, there were 2 crafts.
1: REGULAR AIRLINER, contrails, normal sound, normal blinking lights AND not lit up by the sun..
2: The one i described ABOVE...READ

And they were heading the SAME WAY, and the one i need help with behaved OUT OF ORDER.
No contrails, NOT normal sound and with ONE light..
Thus NOT a normal plane, but im not saying UFO either.
It was manmade but verry strange...
I tried the AIR Radar, but i was probly to late or the site i was on
was not so good. I´ll get an app for my android for "NEXT TIME"...

Please don't insult me by telling me to read.

It is entirely possible for the bright light to be as I described - the sun shining off an airliner - nothing at all in your description is inconsistent with that - and indeed the time is very suggestive.

If you only want your own theories confirmed then don't ask the question in the fist place.

Hmm...
So first airliner, identyfied as such, did NOT have a fixed bright light (Sunlit).
The two crafts, AIRLINER and CRAFT were guestimated at the same alt.
Heading same direction. And almost next to eachother. As i said i had
a comparison. But the craft was sunlit, that is strange to me..

Guestimated is not the same as "were" at the same altitude, and "almost next to each other" means nothing in terms of distance - they could be miles apart and have only a small angular separation - see this page for how distance can appear from th ground.

Also see this page for how an a commercial jet can be "mistaken" for a missile, as an example of why they do not always look like aircraft.
