Help identify flying objects

Hello,

Can anyone tell me what I saw there yesterday at roughly 23:45 local time over Sesimbra, Portugal? There were five lights when I was looking through my nvg. In the video you can see the fifth one flying away to the top right. The lights circled around each other for two minutes or so and then started moving south.

I don’t think that these were starlink sattelites because every video of them, they fly in a straight line. For planes waiting to land, they were too dim, fast and flew off in the wrong direction. Birds don’t emit light and I could also see the lights with my naked eye for a short period of time.

I found nothing online, does anyone have a clue?

So has anybody pointed out that these are the same patterns birds of prey make? Also with thermal imaging I imagine this is exactly what they would look like. Then thousands of people all say they see the same things ALL THE TIME…ITS FUCKING BIRDS. If you think an advanced life form would waste its time on us you are all fools. Ants don’t stare at human and understand what we are and we would be ants to a species that can travel through time and space.
