I viewed two rows of bright objects in the sky (not quite as bright as the ISS (-2.5) but about that size). There was eight objects in total (4 sets of 2). ________________________________________ O O O O O O O O _________________________________________ These objects were moving uniformly (as one unit) ENE. The objects were not like shiny stars but rather looked like what a satelite looks like in the sky. They were moving quite fast as they appeared about 80 degrees and faded from sight around 25 degrees, all in under 5 seconds. My wife and I were viewing the meteor shower and were shocked to see such a magnificently perfect sight.

02-20-2020 I live in Victoria British Columbia on Vancouver Island and was up at 6:00 am. to let my dog out to do her morning business and I follow her out and stand on guard to watch for deer sleeping in our back yard. It was still dark out so I looked up to view the stars when I immediately noticed two white lights extremely high up overhead travelling side by side moving in a North-Easterly direction. I thought that was unusual except immediately following the same path, elevation and speed was literally a convoy of white lights in single file following the two side by side lights. I started counting them but stopped at ten and looked in the direction from which they were coming from which was the South-West. I saw a long continuous line coming one after the other and at that point I ran into my bedroom and excitedly called for my wife to come see this string of lights. I ran back outside and was quickly joined by my wife and we both watched this, what seemed like an almost endless ! string of lights travelling what I can only assume is in space. The time I began watching the first time was 6:05 am. and the parade of lights lasted until the very last one in the column was at 6:16 am. I have no idea how many of these lights the were but I would estimate well over one hundred. I don’t know if there were more lights pre-ceding the column when I observed the first two but truly an amazing site to behold, plus I finally have a witness this time. My dog at one point was growling and looking up at me and seconds later I pointed out to my wife a jet airliner travelling towards us and the column but at a bisecting North-West direction heading South-East and far below the column of lights. I don’t know if the captain saw this column but likely wouldn’t say so even if he did.

I saw an object travelling across the sky thinking it was the ISS but then i saw more following behind it in formation. They looked like stars travelling across the sky in formation.travelling west to east.

I and other residents of the house have seen an odd light formation in the sky, to the south east of Portage Road (near Portage Inlet), north of Victoria, Vancouver Island, BC. First sighting was January 16, 2020, I think. Since then it's recurred on at least three occasions, most recently the 19th and 20th of February. Time was generally between 7.30 PM to just after 9 PM. Then again March 21 in the morning around 5.30 AM. It looked like a bright star to the naked eye, but lower then a star; it drifted back and forth slowly, from east to further south. It seemed to be some distance away; it was framed behind a tall pine tree's upper branches and gradually moved from one side of the tree to the other very slowly, often over about 30 minutes before moving out of view. It was not a star: Looking at it through binoculars, it seemed to resolve into a cluster of red, white and green lights spaced short distances apart, possibly in a triangular or oval shape. However, it was too far away to see details or estimate the actual distance of the object. No sounds were audible. The same area of sky, viewed in daylight, appears to be empty of buildings, utility poles or towers that might be illuminated at night. Another family member saw on Feb 20th what appeared to be a bright white light banded by a curving oval swath of red light detach from the main star-like shape and descend in an arc earthwards in a space of 10-15 seconds, at which point the descending curved light disappeared. (The cluster of other colored lights remained in the sky for another hour or so). The descent may have taken place in the Colquitz Creek / Admirals Road/Cuthbert Holmes Park area.

My wife and I (so glad I had a witness) saw, what at first looked like satellites gliding through the sky, but upon closer observation, we saw that there were many of them, all in a straight line across the SSE sky. We saw at least three dozen separate lights, in formation, heading east, over a few minutes, most of them in line, the odd one to the side. The "satellites" did not appear on iphone video footage.
