The lights were moving slowly and steadily, and they seemed to be in a perfect line.

One resident said "The mysterious lights were moving around 9 p.m., moving in a straight path."
What could this possible be?
The lights that were visible from the sky were called SpaceX's Starlink satellites.
The Starlink satellites are a series of satellites that are being launched by SpaceX to provide broadband internet access to people all over the world.
The satellites are arranged in a low Earth orbit, which means that they are closer to Earth than most other satellites.
This makes them visible to the naked eye, and they can often be seen in strings or trains moving across the night sky.
