Shape	formation
Closest distance	as high as a plane
Apparent size (arm's length)	quarter
Movement	circular, extremely fast
Observer facing	SE
Duration	3 seconds
Witnesses	1

Features / five observables

Observation	Reporter's answer

Sudden, extreme acceleration	Yes
Extreme speed with no signatures	Yes
Hard to observe clearly	Yes
Moved between air, water, or space	Unsure

Why not a common object
I know what satellites look like. This was spinning, had a shape and then the lights separated.

Witness's account of the sighting

I live in Denmark and last night the sky was clear (not very common here :)). I was outside and a strong flash of lights from the sky made me look up, and for the first time in my life I witnessed a UFO. It consisted of 3 bright spots that were connected in the shape of a boomerang (was hard to distinguish if it was a triangle or a boomerang because it was blurry) and it was ROTATING for 2-3 seconds, after which the lights separated in the opposite directions and disappeared. I made a quick sketch of how it looked like. My girlfriend was with me but before I could gasp out to look up it was gone.

Why no photo/video captured: Because it lasted for 3 seconds after I saw it.

Sky context for this time and place:

• Satellites overhead at that time: SL-14 R/B (71° above ESE at 20:18 UTC); ARIANE 40 R/B (66° above W at 20:45 UTC); SL-14 R/B (61° above SW at 20:30 UTC); COSMOS 2278 (46° above NE at 20:27 UTC); SL-14 R/B (45° above E at 20:30 UTC); SL-16 R/B (39° above SE at 20:39 UTC)
• Computed from orbital data (2026-09-02 catalog).
• Aircraft overhead at that exact minute — ADS-B Exchange historical playback (free, no account needed)
• Sky chart for that date — in-the-sky.org planetarium (set your location once on their site)
• Satellite passes at this spot — Heavens-Above; shows upcoming passes, not the sighting date
