I don't know about birds, hard to tell really. Now if they landed and a couple of Romulans climbed out, maybe we got something.
True Story: Deer camp, mid 1960s over Mt. Adams in the Washington Cascade mountains I saw a fairly bright object move quickly over the mountaintop, stop, split into two objects and depart at a high rate of speed in formation. All in about 30 seconds.

Impossible to tell what these are from the video. Critics love to squawk that everyone has a camera in their pocket today so why don’t we have better photos of alleged UFOs, but cell phone cameras have tiny image sensors, so pretty poor resolution, and they are terrible at photographing objects at a distance because they use wide-angle lenses.

Your story reminds me of when I was about eight or nine back in the early 70s. We lived in Illinois and one evening I was looking up at the sky and suddenly saw what appeared to be a star quickly move from one spot in the sky to another and then stop dead. Soon, another one did the same thing, followed by another. All were at first sitting perfectly still, then moved extremely fast (several degrees of arc in less than a second), and then sat perfectly still at their new locations. A few years later I was sitting in a theater watching Close Encounters of the Third Kind, when the final scene at Devil’s Tower began. There’s a moment when several UFOs join together in formation and disguise themselves by imitating the Big Dipper. My jaw dropped, because it was so much like what I saw.

There’s no reason to doubt you.

Mt. Adams, eh? Have you heard the stories of the locals? I live with a view of Mt. Adams.

That poor bird.
