What would the paper say?

Long line of lights (maybe 12 or more) moving from the west, coming over a farmers field. Lights were white, solid, no other colors noted and it was moving slow, perpendicular to the ground then whatever this was changed course and started to move north, slightly angled, moved over a tree line and then disappeared. Whatever this was, it was low and I really couldn't make out any shape due to the darkness outside. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Certain]
