Yup I have seen these except the ones a saw were a group of three, they are
strung together via cables 5kms in length. I think they are called NOSS from
memory they are used by the US Military to get 3D imaging of the ground
below. They usually travel in a trangle config, but some have broken free. So
if you come across a pair try looking a lil way ahead or behind and you can
usually find the escapee.
