I’ve never seen a satellite disappear in the middle of the sky.

1 string of approximately 25 lights that resembled satellites flew from south to north and disappeared about 2 finger widths above Orion’s belt. Orion was about 4 hand widths above the horizon in the eastern sky. Another string followed, again about 25 of them and disappeared in the same spot. Over the next several minutes 4 more random lights passed in the same direction but at different points much higher in the sky and disappeared on a line of the same longitude. The first 2 strings were traveling in mostly a straight line, but a few lights were slightly out of alignment.
