2 silvery metallic objects seen over sydney australia

this happened some time ago in sydney,australia. it was australia day,jan 26th, the year was 2002 or 2003,.

on returning from a local shop on foot and just before entering my block of units i looked up to see what a sign writing aircraft was putting in the sky, it was after a few secounds that i noticed slightly to the right of the aircrafts white letters up there that i saw 2 metallic,silvery grey coloured objects, at first i thought they might be marker balloons for the sign writing aircraft but as i watched them i observed the white letters spreading and drifting southwards in an upper level wind,while the 2 objects remained stationary,that arroused my curiosity even more and i was able to percieve that they were at a good altitude higher than the aircraft which was at at least 10,000 feet,i estimate there size at perhaps 20 ft or so compared to the aircraft,it was also a cloudless sky,i wandered if the pilot could see them , after around 3-4 mins, the oval shaped object on the right started moving to the sw slowly at first,it then accelerated rapidly and vanished from view,1-3 secounds later the other object did the same, the objects were about 2 miles south of the main c.b.d. of sydney, i phoned the sydney observatory to ask if anyone else had phoned in with a similar sighting,none had up to that point, the silvery metalic colour made them almost unnoticable against the blue sky but once noticed they were clearly discernable.

Some workers at the olympic stadium also reported 2 silvery oval objects seen in the western sydney sky,this time a whole group saw them and i read there sighting on an australian ufo sight,what they saw and what i did were practically identical including there movement,there sighting was about 9 mths later, i have seen 2 other sightings of objects in sydney, one during the day and another at night that several hundred people up the whole east coast of australia saw one night, around 11.30 pm a white light steadily moving north,this object was apparently tracked also by aussat,which is an australian satellite positioned directly over aus,this sighting was also reported on the abc radio science show 1-2 days later.

i didnt report the above at the time to any site because ive only recently found this one and a few others so i thought id put it up.
