U.F.O. Sighting, no, not “little green men” but something odd last night. It was up in the sky & I can't Identify it, so its a “UFO”, but NOT a “flying saucer” & yes there is another witness. I don't know for sure what it was but I assume it was one of Musk's "Starlink" satellite trains? But there are significant differences from other images I've seen of them. Last night Western MD (39°38′34″N 77°43′12″W) about 9:30PM a string of 15~20, or so VERY bright white lights in the sky to the South West. (They were so bright they got my attention immediately) Roughly 45° elevation, heading vaguely North. It was a little patchy cloud so they seemed to be blinking on & off, but they were in a crescent shape, not a line like I've seen images of. The whole thing subtended only about 4 or 5°. Checking various tables the closest contender would be Starlink 24, or 27, but 5 ° subtention, 45° elevation doesn't match. Any thoughts or ideas?

i was sitting in my room, and i heard a sound that almost sounded like a train going by. my windows started vibrating so i went to go check it out and there was this slowly moving thing with 2 lights....i could see the sky behind it. it eventually got far enough to where i could no longer hear or see it. i recorded a video of it.
