SIGHTING: MITCHELL, SOUTH DAKOTA (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"February 18, 2020. it was 5:50 a.M. it was still dark & cold, about 20 degrees. i was on my way to work. i walked out of the house & looked up at the sky to see if it was clear or cloudy so i knew what the day was going to start out like. i could see stars all around. as i was starting to look away, something caught my eye. i looked again & saw a red round object moving across the sky. at first, i thought it was a satellite, but i have seen satellites before. this was much closer. after i starred at the red light for a few seconds, i noticed another red light behind it and another and another. they were equally spaced following one another. i don't know how many i had missed that were in front of the one that caught my eye, but i counted 13 before i quit counting and they were still coming. i followed them back to where they were coming from. they were coming from what appeared to be a faintly lit star. they just appeared out of nowhere & followed the one in front of it. this was not over the horizon. it was directly in front of me, overhead. they were all equally spaced & following each other in a straight line. no other movement. they started right in front of me & traveled to the northeast. i didn't see any flashing lights like on a plane. there was no sound or noise. i have seen meteors before. this was not a meteor. there were no flashes of light or tails on them like when a meteor enters the atmosphere & burns up."
