Reported: 2020-05-17 08:26 Pacific
Duration: 10 minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Lake Placid, FL, USA

Shape: Light

More than 75 lights moving high up in the sky for more than 10 minutes from the southwest to the northeast.

Starting around 5:00 am on Sunday 17th, After my morning run, I was looking up in the sky and saw lights moving from the southwest to the northeast extremely high in the sky, 4 to 5 times the altitude that an airplane would be flying. This lasted for 10 to 12 minutes. There was no pattern to the line of lights that came across the sky. Sometimes they would be several in a close line, sometime side by side or even two along side each other with one trailing. Some time they were spaced evenly and other times groups of 3 to 5 would be crossing. Nothing was flashing, and speeds were generally the same as they crossed. At one point there were 2 side by side with 2 trailing close, then one of the trailing lights made an abrupt right turn and leaded away. I went inside and woke my wife to see this. Once back outside they continued for several more minutes. During this entire time, I saw at least 75 to 80 of these lights cross the sky. I counted that during one poin! t there were 16 within my view from the southwest to the northeast sky.
