NUFORC Sighting 76979

Occurred: 2010-08-04 01:40 Local
Reported: 2010-08-04 02:27 Pacific
Duration: Flyby approx 20 sec.
No of observers: 1

Location: Edmonton (Canada), AB, Canada

Shape: Formation

5 lights, jockeying around to make rectangle, triangle, circle and straight line formations travelling east

Standing looking at Northern lights from CME on Aug 1/10. Observing Venus, Saturn, Mars triangle formation to the east when I looked directly overhead and saw 5 small lights (slightly more luminous than the stars) in rectangle formation moving to the east. I thought..."What the hell kind of plane is that?".....when they suddenly broke formation, moved around one another for a quick second, like they were jockeying for position, and formed a triangle. They jockeyed again to form a circle, back to a triangle, a straight line North to South, back to a triangle.....all while travelling East. Approx. 20 sec from when I first saw them...they had moved out of eye view. No sound at all. Best guesstimate of alltitude....possibly ISS alltitude or less.
