Haven't seen those yet, but with all the progress being made... ...you
never know :)
Seriously, I've seen ducks... ...probably geese, it doesn't really matter
and look like planes. They only needed to be illuminated by some light
source. The moon was not up, so that's out of question. Light from a
city or something?
I've seen smaller birds get illuminated by lights, I always went like:
WOW! What a grazer... ...going 50, 60, 70 degrees...
...HEY IT'S MAKING A RIGHT TURN!!!
Satellites seem like a possible explanations as well...
