Light over Plummer, ID

The report, as filed

I went out to have a smoke around 8:45 pm tonight. sitting on my front porch facing south, I noticed a light in the sky going through the douglas fir tree branches directly in front of our home. As I watched another appeared. Then another. I got up and moved htrough to get a clear view. As I scanned the sky I noticed it was a line of lights, coming from the south and slowly turning east and appearing to go higher into the sky and disappearing to the east. I quit counting at a dozen, and they were STILL going over one after the other when I finished my smoke (after approximately ten minutes of viewing time) and came in to make this report! Pretty much evenly spaced, with some speeding up and over taking the one in front of it at really close range, sometimes looking like they were going to collide! It was the weirdest thing I've ever seen! I wondered if they were still going so I went outside and I'll be damned, they were still going! My wife even went out an! d looked! Could they be Elon Musk's satellites? But would satellites overtake each other? My wife asked if it could be military? But more than a dozen? And goingo over for now 25 minutes? Weird!! We used to live near Mt. Home airbase and Fairchild is in Spokane...never seen military aircraft overtake each other as they glide slowly across the sky! My wife just came in (9:17) and she said they're still going? what gives? I am the Mayor of Plummer, so this is no hoax. You can contact me for validation. I don't have anything that would take a picture that far up in the sky. Can do a map of our location and approximate direction of lights upon request.
