Light over Cremona (Canada), AB · Canada

The report, as filed

Driving South on Highway 22 with my boyfriend, I looked to the West and saw what i initially thought was a row of stars from the big dipper handle. As I tried to look for the 'pot' of the big dipper, I noticed that what i thought was the handle, was 5 bright stars and instead of remaining still, they were flying from the west to the east. I told my boyfriend, 'oh weird those stars look like they're moving' and then I realized there was a string of them coming over the rocky mountain horizon, following the first light. Each 'star' was evenly spaced and tracking the first in a straight line over us. They just kept coming perfect spaced, at the same speed. My boyfriend pulled to the shoulder and we got out to watch the phenomenon. We both had never seen anything like this before. It was almost erie how they followed each other, perfectly spaced, in unison, up and over us. I called two of my friends, one from Redwood meadows and the other from Priddis and told them to look west of where they were and to the right of the sliver of moon. They too were in shock because they could see them. The line of stars continued to streak across the night sky, traveling west to east. We lost count around 80.
