Message | Sighted in Sunbury at what appeared to be high altitude. My partner and I observed the object/s for around five minutes. The sky was very clear, no clouds, moderately windy. The moon was visible in the sky, but some distance from the object. The object was completely stationary, white in colour against the blue sky and tiny even when viewed with a 400mm lens.
Under magnification you can clearly see two objects, which were difficult to pinpoint initially, as they would brighten and then fade.
At full brightness they were brighter than the moon and would fade to the point of disappearing. I took a quick succession of photos, all with a 400mm lens.
The six shots were taken in just under a minute and the object appeared to follow the same pattern, brightening as two objects and then dimming into one and then repeated.
From our position at Sunbury Cross we viewed the object looking east. We jumped in the car, heading for our destination and the object could be seen quite clearly as we travelled south.
As a passenger, I was able to observe it for a few minutes and it looked to grow brighter still at one point.
I have included some photos.
Of particular interest was photo 3, which appears to show the objects with a central nucleus.
