Triangle of stars moving

    Right,so I went outside and decided to gaze into the stars,I looked up for about 15 mins and during this time I saw a shooting star,a very bright Jupiter and something which I can describe as ((sorry for the poor use of words)) really really cool!((sorry again *L*)).

    Pretty much Three stars,in the form of a triangle,they werent close but at an even distance,they were all white and moved slower then a plane which you would see when flying high but much faster than when you can see satelites.The stars/ligths/whatevevrs all moved at the same pace and after well,around a minute they disapeared,starting with the top one.

    This happened around 25-30 mins ago.

    I looked it up on google http://www.google.ie/search?hl=en&q=Triangle+of+stars+moving&btnG=Google+Search&meta= and it seems to have been viewed a few times but the one that seems to match it is http://www.bautforum.com/questions-answers/75129-wierd-triangle-star-formations-sky-moving-what.html.

    In that article they say how it may have been NOSS satelites(( http://www.satobs.org/noss.html )) but they were moving too fast and were too bright to be them in my opinion.

    Edit-Also,My Father saw it as well with me.

    I would think that they were the NOSS satellites. Their height would impact on their apparent speed, which might account for them appearing to be other kinds of satellites.

    sounds like a constellation of spy satellites, if you can get the exact date/time and sky location info its possible to look it up on
    www.heavens-above.com . Think they are US in origin if memory serves me correctly
