What did I see in western Germany, close to the Autobahn A1, southbound towards Kamener Kreuz?
There’s two videos with the stuff visible, 1 from the car and one from outside. I apologize for the lack of quality, it was around 2100 around here with a lot of light pollution.
My wife and I saw a circling star pattern formation of lights that circled around the “center” of the “star”, and sometimes swooshed off to the right (would be west-bound), with no delay or anything. It really looked ominous, it was a cloudy night and was far more visible to the naked eye.
It was 99% some some beam-projecting ground installation, but I never saw such a thing with so many dots. Anyway it looked really cool. It seemed to “follow” our car southbound, but it was probably just very far away so it just seemed to travel with us, but it was quite eery the first time we saw it.
Of course I couldn’t just film it for hours because we wanted to get home and had kids in the car sleeping roughly in the car (you can hear the complaining of my eldest in the second video ^^), but they seemingly just disappeared/turned off soon after we left the rest area.
So yay, first “encounter”, but probably just ground crews looking for allied bombers, lol.
