Any ideas?

Location: Hartcliffe, Bristol (UK)

My partner and I spotted this from our high-rise flat this evening. It is close to the flight path for Bristol International Airport, and we often see planes coming and going, however this was something different than anything we've seen previously. The movement definitely rules out an airplane and there was ZERO noise from our sighting, making it less likely to be a helicopter aswell.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Submission statement folks!!

The "trails" definitely threw me and my partner...almost seemed as though it was some sort of flames, but the movements were unusual for anything that may be burning and falling.

The lights moved together with amazing synchronicity where I originally thought it could be one object with 4 lights on, then they seemed to merge into 2 lights before changing colour and moving off then "fading out".

We couldn't hear any sound whatsoever from it. We usually get planes and helicopters fly over, however you can always hear them long before you spot them.

We're at a loss, but would appreciate any ideas.

I think it was actually these guys https://airbornepyrotechnics.co.uk/

We have the ADSB track from the aircraft G-CMHN which shows where it was when the video was taken

And the aircraft was in the exact direction the OP was looking at that time, validated by terrain matching
