SIGHTING: SPRING LAKE, NORTH CAROLINA (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"At 5:45 am on feb 8, 2020 i went outside to start my truck to let it warm up, so unfortunately i did not have my phone to capture video. i always look at the stars when they are visible so that was the first thing i did. the sky was clear of clouds, there were no planes or helicopters in view, and the near-full moon was low on the western horizon. i often watch the iss pass over so i am used to seeing that, as well as other satellites. i am also retired air force, so i am very familiar with seeing all types of aircraft. directly overhead i noticed a perfectly straight line of 'stars' that caught my attention, then noticed they were moving exactly like the iss as it passes, and at the same speed, although the size of these objects appeared smaller than how we see the iss. there were no blinking lights, there were at least 10 objects, they were in a perfectly straight line, evenly spaced, and travelling from west to east. at first there were only four or five, but more appeared as they came out of the shadow of the earth. they never changed course or speed and maintained their distance from each other. i have watched meteor showers and seen many 'shooting stars.' these objects were not entering the atmosphere and flash out. if it were only one object i would have been happy to have witnessed another satellite pass over, but the total number of objects this morning makes me believe that was not the case. i am in no way claiming they were intelligently controlled alien craft, but simply reporting what i saw as unusual and unknown. i truly hope someone else caught them on video and files a similar report."
