I saw what at first appeared to be a string of stars, extending in a slight arc from ne to se, but not a perfect arc. there were about a dozen individual points of light, just a little yellowish. they were brighter than any star, but not much. they were at about 30 degrees elevation, and seemed to be far away. they moved faster than planes or satellites, though. they moved, more or less in a straight line until they were out of sight. it was so stunning i forgot to count them. i live in a rural area with a dark sky. i enjoy watching satellites, planets, meteorites, and other "sights" and have done so for years. this was truly different.
