Starlink?.

About an hour ago, I arrived home from an Ed Sheeran concert in Dublin. When I got out of the car I saw 3 white light in the sky roughly traveling in a SE direction. They were spaced out from each other. 

As I watched, the central light kept going in a straight line, while the outer ones on either side veered of course (one to the left, one to the right). They didn't do 90 degree turns. They just slightly changed trajectory in a curve and went their separate ways.

Definitely wasn't birds being lit up on their bellies. 

It was pretty cool.

I saw it a while ago and caught it on my phone

I've seen triple sets of sats (Chinese military, I think), but they traveled together without diverging.  Maybe SpaceX fanning out?

.............................by how much did they diverge from the original course, and how widely separated were they to begin with and at the end of your observation?   It has been mentioned here before, but when a satellite traverses a barren bit of sky without any bright background stars, it can appear to 'wobble' a bit as it travels, but this is just an optical illusion due to a lack of nearby reference points. Could this be a possible explanation or was the change in trajectory you observed more than could be explained by this?
