Question 495913: I saw an object travel approximately 30 miles in less that 5 seconds.. just curious how fast the objects were traveling.. fyi .. it was shockingly fast... both traveling west to east.. one flying in a straight line.. the other flying in a serpentine formation at the same speed and direction until they seperated on the horizon and disapeared... :) pretty cool to see... just wondering how fast they could have been traveling..they were slightly slower than the shooting stars were were watching...
