I wonder if this is some satellite thingy - NASA have recently (last
month or so) been playing with docking and un-docking some satellites
to test for manouverability of robot spacecraft:

You could take one of those car lot spot lights up into space to the
space station, and the spot size it would make would be like a pinhead.
Those are far closer the Earth than any orbiting object. D'OH!

Do you have an opinion on what they could be ?

Just a wild guess - maybe the marking lights on a Blimp going over?

The grouping of 4 of the lights reminds me very much of the Belgian UFO
sightings.....

Wavre, Belgium
30 March 1990

Around 11:00 p.m. the local police began receiving numbers of telephone calls
reporting lights in a triangular formation over Wavre, twelve miles south of
Brussels. The police in turn reported the sightings to the radar station at
Glons. Glons radar confirmed the sightings of a UFO on radar at an altitude of
3,000 meters. The radar station at Semmerzake verified the Glons tracking and
reported it to the Air Force. The radar trackings were compared to the 11/89
trackings at Eupen and were found to be identical. Police witnesses reported
that, instead of the unidentifieds being three objects flying in formation, it
was one triangular-shaped object with three lights, as had been the Eupen
object.

Because of the large number of reports, Colonel Wilfried De Brouwer of the
Belgian Air Force decided to scramble two F-16 interceptors from Bevokom. The
F-16s were vectored in by Glons radar, and they soon detected a positive
oval-shaped object on their on-board radar at 3,000 meters.. They could see
nothing visually.

When the F-16 pilots attempted to lock on to the object with their on-board
radar, it reacted immediately. It changed shape on their radar to a diamond
shape, increased its speed to 1,000 km/hour, and took swift evasive action.
Tapes of the on-board radar of the F-16s show that the object descended from
3,000 meters to 1200 meters in 2 seconds. That's a speed of 1800 km/hour. The
tapes also show the object accelerating from 280 km/hour to 1800 km/hour in a
few seconds. This represents an acceleration of 46 G, which is more than a human
body could withstand. It is notable that at no time was there a sonic boom.

The object moved erratically, in a zig-zag path, over the city of Brussels,
taking evasive action whenever the pursuing F-16 tried to lock-on. Eventually,
it left the F-16s behind, disappearing at an impossible rate of speed.

These objects were seen by thousands of witnesses, many of whom gave signed
statements to the police. They were photographed and filmed. The objects were
tracked by ground radar at several different installations, and also by the
on-board radar of the F-16s. The objects took evasive action when threatened by
the F-16s and were able to maneuver at speeds that are impossible for any known
aircraft.
