SIGHTING: SHEERNESS, KENT, UK

Witness Testimony

"At approximately 5.00 am in the morning, sky still dark, light sparse cloud,moonlight - looked up and saw what appeared to be a string of at least 30 "stars" passing directly overhead in a straight row one behind the other, height unknown but as bright as the brightest stars and completely silent, heading approximately west to east. Some had already passed but I looked up directly as the last 10 or so went overhead.The speed of every "star" was consistent and I would estimate similar to that of an airliner, there was no deviation in course and no vapour trail. Strangest sight I have ever seen in the sky, it put me in mind of a long necklace of regularly spaced diamonds being pulled, strange but beautiful. Did not have my phone with me so no video or images unfortunately but I was not going to rush indoors to grab it and miss this amazing sight. Watched until the last one disappeared, would estimate between 2 and 2.30 minute duration. "
