Five round objects glowing red to orange and gold.

Started with a speck like a distant star, increased in size and travelled steadly overhead, them climbed and disapeared into a small speck, then another appeared from the same spot in the sky, and did exactly the same flight path, and disapeared into the same spot in the sky. In total five of these objects one at a time crossed the sky .

I was stood on the canal towpath walking my dog and I looked at the clear starlit sky, when a star that looked orange in colour began to grow and became brighter, and travelled towards me almost the size of a helicoper but round, but made no sound. I stood transfixed as it crossed the sky above me and started to climb till it became a speck and disapeared. But the most amazing thing was it happened five times, instantly one had disapeared another appeared from the same spot in the sky following the same flightpath. I hurried home only a 50yds and told my daughter who came out of the house and saw the last one disapear confirming I was'nt seeing things.
