Description: My wife & myself were laying out in our backyard looking for satellites passing overhead. Suddenly, in the north east sky we both noticed 2 very dim stationary stars suddenly start to brighten into two, very bright white star like objects. One second they were not there, & within a couple of seconds they were both brighter than a bright white star nearby which made the trio of objects into a triangular shape.

The two objects remained in a stationary position near the "real" star as they continued to brighten for around 10 seconds.

A few seconds later both objects raced away into the north east sky at great speed. Within no more than a few seconds they had disappeared from sight.

We discussed what we had just witnessed in amazement. Neither object was in any way similar to satellites which we often watch crossing the evening sky.
