USCG C-130 aircrew returning from SAR case over Bahamas headed back towards FL coast at 20,000ft, sighted a single straight line of 50-100 white lights, in a perfect straight line, tracking southerly at a high rate of speed at a higher altitude than our aircraft. All 7 members on the crew saw the sighting, visible both under NVGs and naked eye. The lights were closely spaced together, seeming covering a straight line shape at least 100NM long in the sky, not flickering, fading, waning, or glowing. Lights moved constantly with each other, not individually dropping or drooping or changing trajectory, as in possible space debris. Sighting lasted for approx 10 minutes, until all lights turned off/faded out of view to our far left.

As much as I do not want to believe it, what I saw was real. The thing was going well over 10x the speed of a plane and was a very bright round light. It appeared to be around 30,000 feet above sea level and I only saw it for around 3 seconds. This thing did not make any sound what so ever and was definitely not man made. I looked up google maps to see where it was headed and it was going in the exact direction of the Florida Keys, where a lot of people have seen them fly into the water. If I had to guess how fast it was going I would say around 2,000-10,000mph and would have to say it was going to their base underground in the water by the keys. I was on the back porch looking at the pond when it came from over the house to beyond the houses past the pond. I know you know I saw a form of life that is much more advanced then us on earth but can not tell me the truth, all I want you to tell me is what they do here and if they are helping us become more advanc! ed. Thanks hope this helped! ((name of witness deleted)) Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides little contact information. PD
