Full Description & Details

I am an airline pilot with one of the National flag carriers in Europe. A number of years ago we were cruising at about 35000 feet and on a night return flight from Lagos to Europe. It was a perfectly clear night with no clouds anywhere and had settled in on the long monotonous sector over Algeria when my colleague prodded my arm and pointed to something in the northeastern sky. I looked and observed 4 lights in what I can only describe as a roughly trapezium shape well above our flight level. Almost immediately the milky white lights faded out simultaneously leaving us dumbfounded. My colleague said he observed the lights for some

Seconds but was unable to utter a word. Both of us were absolutely convinced the lights were no aircraft or stars. Bear in mind we had both flown many thousands of hours in our careers and had never seen anything like it! We have not reported anything as we felt there is no. Point. After all no evidence!

Anyway I had forgotten all about it until I stumbled upon this website. While clicking through the various pictures thinking the majority can possibly be explained as unusual cloud formations or other rare aerial phenomena when I came across photo 189( http://www.ufoevidence.org/Photographs/Photo189.htm )and there was instant recognition! Hence this comment. Question is are their any other colleagues out there reading this, who have had a similar experience?
