I was sitting in my back yard with my wife and daughter as it was a nice evening and we had been watching various aircraft on approach to Stansted airport. My attention was drawn high in the sky by a flashing object heading east, which flash every 5 second or so, I watched it as it disn't seem like an aircraft lighting. The object then flashed for a second and third time but the distance inbetween these flashes were in my view vast and i couln't think of any aircraft that could travel that fast. The object was then lit for a constant time where it turned South where ir accelerated to an incredible speed and it then did a complete 180 degree turned and accelerated even faster whilst heading in a north-east direction and disappeared
