Reported: 2021-12-04 12:26 Pacific
Duration:
No of observers: 2

Location: Valencia, CA, USA
Location details: At my house in my back yard in the eastern sky

Shape: Cigar
Explanation: Starlink - Possible
Characteristics: Lights on object

It looked like a cigar shape tilted like a forward slash w/ 1000's of white lights moving in sync as if attached to something.

My husband called me to come downstairs and look at this thing outside. It was dusk so there was still a lot of light out, but the sun had just set. It looked like a cigar shape but tilted like a forward slash with 1000's of lights all over it (like you put on a Christmas tree not in a straight line just all over it). The lights were moving in perfect sync in the shape of a tilted cigar from right to left, not up, as if attached to something we could not see.

It was heading northeast. It looked like it was really really far away but, it took up a lot of the view as if it were humongous, as big as a city block but 100's of miles away.

I ran upstairs to look at it from the balcony and get a picture, but the iPhone wouldn't focus on the lights. It was heading northeast and I watched it for a few seconds and then it was gone. I still should have been able to see it, but it disappeared. We watched it for a total of about 2-4 minutes.
