Remarks Originally thought it was a military aircraft convoy. called a local friend & told to go outside & look up. we watched a string of lights traveling west to east (not due W-E it had a slight s lean but not quite ESE) for maybe 3-4 minutes. mostly single dots & a couple close together (thought they were secorsky helo's. As we watched the last "double" the last light passed the 2nd to last light. (at that point we knew it wasn't a helo!) then noticed the whole rest of the "convoy" disappeared!!! creepy lol. Now knowing they werent planes I thought satelite. It then reminded me of, images I saw of the shuttle breaking apart during re entry a long time ago. Got on google & found my way here. To whom it may concern, If you do know what I/we saw on 4/30/2020 approx 21:10 , please contact me with...whatever info. thank you 449ray@gmail.com
