They seemed to stop for several moments and then the formation appeared to rotate. I got our of my car and took a camera from the trunk of my car and waved another passing car to stop. now there were 3 of us that witnessed this strange phenomenon. i took a photo and they just seemed to zoom off into the distance with an electronic type sound...it sounded atrificial.
