Hi, Never, ever seen anything like this before ever. Dark night sky, stars visible,out in the garden with my dogs before we go to bed. A little hard to describe - I created a picture on MS-Paint, but cannot upload it here - keeps failing. About 2350hrs - 0005hrs, a long, thin white line, almost like a bold distinct aircraft vapour trail, but a distinct length, not a trail across the sky , followed by 2 or 3 dots of light - like stars but not as bright and trailing this "thing". Hard to describe it, like a meteor/shooting star, but much longer and keeping its shape, moving deliberately across the sky moving from due west to due east. No noise, no aircraft lights.
