G'day,

Tonight I saw something unusual - never seen it before - no explanation.
I have in the past seen stars "appear" that shouldn't be there and last for a few seconds to even a few minutes. I have always assumed these to be satellite or some other high altitude object reflecting sunlight.
Tonight I saw one and then about 1 degree away another one appeared and then a third one in a triangle about 1x1 degree. They were all similar brightness - about magnitude 0 - 1. I have checked satellites in the area - none, besides they don't appear in groups of 3. They were stationary or very slow moving. They lasted about 30-40 seconds then disappeared.
Any ideas of what it could be?

Tony.
