No of observers: 2

Location: , , Unspecified
Location details: International waters at 36,000 feet, approaching 30W 140N.

Shape: Oval
Characteristics: Lights on object

Bright, fast moving lights

While in cruise, a bright, oval shaped light appeared ahead and at a slightly higher altitude than our aircraft. A second, similar light suddenly appears much closer and to the right of us. Both lights suddenly disappear. After the encounter I started to video similar objects but at a much higher altitude (at least above 50,000 feet) and much farther away. As you will see in the video, there are several lights that accelerate at an astonishing rate only to come to a stop. In over 30 years of flying, I have seen meteors, satellites and even a comet (Hale Bop) but never anything like this close encounter followed by the moving lights in Space. I have recently spoken with a few fellow airline pilots including a close friend of mine that have either personally witnessed or have at least heard of similar lights.
