Duration: 1-2 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Columbus, OH, USA
Location details: North Linden neighborhood

Shape: Light

4-5 orange balls of light in a straight line

I saw 4-5 orange balls of light flying from east to west, below cloud cover. Faster than airplanes and noiseless. For some scale, I absolutely would have been able to make out the general shape and multiple lights of an airplane if one was flying that low. Instead, these were large-ish orange balls of light, spaced out from each other, in single file. I saw one from my bedroom window and was trying to understand what I had seen, when I saw another following it. I ran to that window (south facing) and saw another following that one. I then ran to my back door window (facing west) and could see two of the lights heading west. The farthest one simply faded, I tried to get my phone camera going for the next one, when I looked back up it was gone. The last one came, still in the same line as the preceding ones. I again tried to get my camera and it disappeared as well, not as far west as the others had been when they disappeared.

My personal background is that I work in accounting, I’m in my forties and I have never before seen anything that I would describe as a UFO.

NUFORC Note:

Possibly Starlink
