Shape: Star-like | Duration: 00:10:00
Source:

Franny was out on back deck smoking around 5:15 am, and to the east i observed lights that i thought were moving i must have watched for maybe 30 seconds; so i ran in to grab my phone which took maybe 15 seconds went back outside i watched for about another 20 supposedly seconds then opened the sliding door to alert my friend tom to ask if he would look so he came out and observed this phenomena also; we watched in amazement that this was actually happening as these "starlike" objects just kept magically appearing one right after another in a straight line with equal spacing them with one or two lights offset to the right. these lights would appear at maybe 60 degrees above my horizon and descend down and away till disappearing in a treeline at 30 degrees. the duration of each light lasted from somewhere between 5-10 seconds. from my vantage/perspective they were traveling out over the atlantic ocean direction being ese near the mouth of the delaware bay. i did take video; unfortunately it shows nothing till near the end that it captures a "star". the audio is embarrassingly laced with f-bombs (sorry) with franny (me) being the main culprit. i have been a lifelong consistent skywatcher and tonight i can finally say, at 62 years old i have seen what i've been hoping to see all my life. my shameful video is sent also.
