Lights in sky over Melbourne.

Three times in the past month my three house mates and I have headed up a mountain near our house. Mount Donna Buang near Warrburton in Victoria. It is the highest mountain around Melbourne. We went there just to look at the stars and the 360' view. We were watching satellites. On three separate occasions we saw what we thought were satellites but then they would slow down and come to a complete stop. The star/satellite looking object would then become really bright before fading away to nothing. A second or two after the light fades it can be seen shooting off in another direction at extreme speed.

Very cool and very strange.
