(meteorobs) Weird Observation



 I have a very strange notice for you. I am amateur astronomer for 25 years. Also I've studied about meteorology and have a good experience in night observing. I am very skeptical about any UFO claims.
 However, today, April 7, 10:50 GMT, I was outside my home in Brasilia preparing for another night of observations when I've noted a strange double star located in northern part of Virgo losangle. This double appeared vis
ually at magnitude 4. Immediately I've perceived that this "star" was non-existent. I thought that could be a nice double nova (as strange this thing could be!!!). I've got immediatelly my Celestron Bino 20x80 and I had o
ne of more surprising sights of my life. Six stars with mags from 4 to 7 were concentrated in an area of 15'. I've called my wife and put my 10" LX-50 to work. Six bright stars were in sight. Suddenly two of then begun to
 move. Yesss . To move. At a rate about 1' per 3 or 4 seconds. Two stars orbited the other 4. Yess.. They begun to move in a constant cicular speed around the four brighter. After some two minutes of observation the brigh
t stars begun to fade. All  set fade in about a minute. After that only background stars.
 The location of this weird sight was very near a star called Wo 9429 from Nearby Stars Catalogue.(BD +06 2697). 13h08m51s +5 12m 32s. Hipparcos 64150. SAO 119789.

 I am looking for a similar observation anywhere to triangulate the 
position of the "objects"
