Outside tonight and went out back and line of over a dozen "stars" all traversing due NE with a fast pace. Didn't see any strobes. All in a line following. I'm not the only witness. Nothing on ADS exchange resembling. Anybody? Never seen anything like it.

Thank you. Visibility was uncanny to a star tonight.
Got home tonight and the wife told me it was turned into the police a couple of times last night. Definitely noticeable.
Could it have been SpaceX's Starlink Satellite 'Train' ?
Yup
First time I saw starlink I thought it must be UFOs or a military air train convoy or something. It's pretty amazing. I can see why astronomers are pissed though, it is unmistakable and it will really ruin time lapses.
Southern rural Iowa here, just walked outside and looked around the sky and couldn't see it. I live closer to the Ottumwa area though.
Pretty sure it was the satellites. They moved fast...very fast for visibility. All out of my sight within 10 minutes.
Those are starlink SATELITES

The path coincides... Thank you.
Starlink supposedly, my wife and I saw it last night, crazy shit!
Yeah the path matches up from their tracking.
THANK YOU very much. Last year I saw 17 (I counted) 'stars' appear either out of nowhere or out of the distance, spaced perfectly apart, travel northeast and disappear in the distance. From my perspective in Ohio they came from over Cedar Point and disappeared heading towards Canada. Been bugging me ever since.
THE Satellites stay all in a line when first released. Over time the disperse from one another.
It could have been a string of TESLA Starlink satellite's that are starting to envelope the globe.
