I live in east central Kansas, at approximately 6:00 I was observing a cloudless sky just before sunrise, admiring the big dipper and I saw a row of lights. I counted 15 at least. perfectly spaced, traveling In a northeastern direction at what must have been a height altitude, no sound and all had matched speeds except for one that’s was offset Slightly from the rest moving faster. I hope more people report.
