Shape: Formation
Characteristics: Lights on object

fast moving, 5 point triangular formation of lights that break away in unison

I have two pairs of NV7 Gen3 night vision googles. I was in my backyard with a friend, showing him my using a handheld laser to point out anything of interest. We were both looking through googles when the incident occurred. We had been looking around for things moving for about 10 minutes when my friend shouted for me to look straight up. He first spotted five points of light in a perfect triangular formation moving from south to north at a very rapid speed. He said that he saw the formation at about a 40 degree angle to the south. When I saw it, it was pretty much directly above us. I immediately shined my 2 watt handheld blue laser towards the formation and immediately the formation began to split up, with the lights on each side of the formation breaking out at an incredibly fast rate. The formation disappeared behind a tree in my yard. The entire incident lasted 4-6 seconds.
