I viewed what looked like a continuous string of lights moving across the early morning sky from south to north in Highlands Ranch, CO.

On the morning of Saturday, November 23rd at 5:30 am I went out on my 2nd floor balcony wearing only my pant bottoms to smoke a cigar. I’m telling you this to help show you the timeline of what I saw. As I stood there and looked up at the night sky, I watched a light come from north to south. It took about 1 minute for it to move north from about 2 o’clock south in the sky to about 12 o ’clock straight above. Being out there only a minute with just my pants I was getting cold and ran in quick to get a shirt. On my way in I noticed another light coming from the same direction and hurried and got a shirt on and went back out, taking less than a minute to get back out.

Standing out in my shirt, I noticed 2 additional lights following the same path. Still cold, I stepped inside to grab my coat. This time coming out about 30 seconds later, I looked up and saw 3 lights in line with each other about 1 o’clock in the sky, coming much faster in the same direction from south to north.

I continued to watch and more lights continued to move across the sky in increasing numbers, grouped together in lines, not clusters, moving from south to north. About 5:15 am, a small prop plane flew underneath the lights moving west to east. I kept counting the lights as they continued to appear, and lost count after 75. I estimate that I viewed a little over 200 lights total, however due to the horizon getting brighter, I believe there may have been more, just not visible any longer.

One last thing I’d like to mention, is from the point of start of 5:30 am, to the point it ended at 6:00 am, looking southward, I noticed that the lights started at an 11 o’clock angle, still facing south everything ended at a 2 o’clock angle.

I would like to receive an explanation of these lights if possible. If I were to give it a basic explanation, I would say it looked like continuous strings of lights moving across the sky.

Thank you for your time and attention to this.
