Description

It was close to mid-day ( I live in Helsinki, Finland ) when me and my girlfriend returned from grocery-shopping. It was a hot, cloudless day - this whole summer has been extraordinarily warm here - and we noticed something odd in the sky from the parking-lot of our apartment. Two ( later three ) star-like objects, very high in the atmosphere, just hanging there. It looked odd because I have never seen stars during mid-day, and neither has my girlfriend. I called my father and he encouraged me to take a few photos and videos of the objects, and so I did. First off, I apologize for the unprofessional quality of the video-clips. The objects are very high and appear more faint in the videos. I also narrate them ( in finnish ) because I was just so... Perplexed.

In this video, the two objects appear closer together. (https://reddit.com/link/oi0hm2/video/4c8uthei5ja71/player)

I watched them initially for about 20 minutes. During that time, the objects crept closer to each other ( very, very slowly ), and then separated again. At some point a third object appeared from the left, and slowly approached the two "stars". I eventually went inside to sort out the groceries with my girlfriend, but I had to come back. I stared at the objects for what felt like 10 minutes to me, but was closer to an hour ( according to my girlfriend ). And then the objects disappeared in front of my eyes, one by one. The sky was still cloudless, so they weren't obstructed by a cloud - they just vanished.

Also, on one of the videos, there is a strange object seen for only a single frame. Something flew by the camera at very, very high speed. I didn't see it with my naked eyes, but my sister noticed it when I showed her the videos, and it looks like a strange object. It could be a glitch or whatever, who knows.

Anyway, the whole strange incident lasted for an hour or so. I don't know what we saw. Can you guys maybe help me out? If there is an easy explanation, I want to know.

Here you can see, albeit very faintly, the third object that had slowly crept closer to the original two. (https://reddit.com/link/oi0hm2/video/k6j8q3xz5ja71/player)

In this video, something strange appears for a single frame around the 0:09 mark - it could be anything, but it just looks like a classical flying saucer, albeit a blurry one. Whatever it was, it went by fast. (https://reddit.com/link/oi0hm2/video/c6sj46gq5ja71/player)

The faint objects ( they varied in brightness during the encounter ). (https://reddit.com/link/oi0hm2/video/c0shme1b5ja71/player)

Edit: here are a few photos I took, maybe the objects are clearer in them.

The objects pretty close to each other. (https://preview.redd.it/vck5x6nsaka71.jpg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto…)

The objects farther apart, a bit dimmer. (https://preview.redd.it/42ghgrguaka71.jpg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto…)

Here's the weird object that can be seen for one frame, flying past the camera. (https://preview.redd.it/huiihco8bka71.jpg?width=739&format=pjpg&auto=…)
