NUFORC Sighting 146288

Occurred: 2019-05-25 12:30 Local
Reported: 2019-05-25 21:30 Pacific
Duration: 3 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Saint John (Canada), NB, Canada

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object

On May 25th, at 12:30am, near Sandy Point on the Kennebecasis River. I saw a long line of lights cross the top of the sky, around the tip of the end of the Big Dipper handle, moving from the southwest to the northeast. The lights were larger and brighter than most stars and there was no sound. At first I thought it was a comet, and then I thought it was the Milky Way moving! At the front of the line there was a cluster of 10-15 lights, all in a row, and then there were another 10 plus lights strung out in a straight line behind the first lights. What was really noticeable was that all lights seemed to be travelling at the same speed and on the same path. It reminded me a bit of how you see in the movies a long train travelling across the praries at night and what you see are the lights inside the passenger cars moving in unison. The length of the string of lights may have been 3 or 4 Big Dipper Handles long, and what I saw lasted about 30 seconds.

Interestingly, I came across a posting of an almost identical kind of sighting from Lancaster, PA, Aug 22/16.
