Circle over Belle Fourche, SD

The report, as filed

Starting around 8:30pm on 9/15 and 9/16 multiple uap sightings that were sporadic in a 1-1.5 hour period. They start as orbs through the sky sometimes multiple moving together non blinking lights and we are in a rural area with not much air traffic. They are traveling at a high rate of speed but will fade out. What really baffles me on 9/15 there was a string of blue lights around 10+ that were traveling through the sky in an upward motion but sideways (completely different look than starlink) they were spaced far apart but consecutively following one another in a straight pattern. I went out the evening of 9/16 and witnessed the same thing with multiple orbs traveling through the sky around 5 individual ones and again saw a string of crafts traveling straight up in the sky coming from what looked like bottom traveling up one after another that lasted 5minutes. I don’t know what’s going on in our area lately but it’s incredibly exciting and if it continues happening I think this is worth investigating.
