3 lights flashing simultaneously. 2nd one chased the 1st. 3rd one began spinning, emanating pinkish light. All three did this.

Around 7.10pm 6 miles from Swansea, I noticed some stars in the sky. As I focused on the highest star, I noticed it was flashing, but the two below it (diagonally) were also flashing simultaneously. I was convinced they must be planes, but continued to watch them. The lowest in the sky continued to move downwards, whereas the second one followed it relatively slowly, before suddenly moving quickly after it. The highest 'star' remained in the same place, and, as I watched it, I suddenly felt as though it was watching me. Once I thought this, it began to 'spin' and a pinkish light emanated from it. The other two objects lower in the sky became visible again (behind two houses opposite) and all three objects spun and emanated the same light simultaneously. There was no trail (as in a plane), and no noise. Then all three disappeared very quickly. I'm not a UFO enthusiast, and have never witnessed anything like this before. Around 30 mins later, I noticed a plane moving from the direction where the objects had disappeared, with a bright red flashing light, and a number of white lights all around it. This was a plane which went over my house, and left a trail in the sky. It wasn't a commercial plane. Planes never travel directly over my house either.

I'm pretty skeptical, although try to maintain a sense of critical open-mindedness. I have never seen anything like this before, and felt compelled to share it with others. It really does make you wonder. My profession is psychology - I have a PhD in psychology (one of the most skeptical professions ever), and I'm just finishing a doctorate in clinical psychology. I find it amazing that after feeling that the object was 'watching' me, that it began spinning immediately afterwards.
