REMARKS
(CFPL) Aircraft reported an unidentified aerial phenomenon off the 12 o'clock while NNE bound at FL330, 1,050 miles off the E
coast of the Carolinas, LAT/LONG 3208N/5750W. The crew observed 2 aircraft North of their position operating in a formation in
a North to South racetrack pattern. They appeared to have their landing lights on while operating in a left hand racetrack pattern,
3-5 minutes laps with one trailing the other by 5 seconds. Looks like a fast Jet Cap. They area estimated to be 40-50 miles
ahead at approximately at or above FL400. LEO not notified.
(CFPL) 0409 Update: The Crew is reporting that they continue to observe 2 or 3 lights moving North and East very high above.
They report this sighting to possibly be Starlink Satellites. AWO notified.
