NUFORC Sighting 141918

Occurred: 2018-06-21 23:14 Local
Reported: 2018-06-21 23:29 Pacific
Duration: 5 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Seattle, WA, USA

Shape: Orb
Characteristics: Lights on object

Unusual red lights at apparent orbital altitude.

I just witnessed something unusual - 8 red lights traveling from the direction of the sunward horizon - West to East.

The objects, by their action and the way the light dimmed, appeared to be at orbital altitude. They came from the West and then progressively dimmed as they traveled toward the East.

What makes it unusual is that the 8 objects appeared and disappeared within a span of approximately 5 minutes. Also the red color was unusual as I am used to looking for sky junk and watching it pass overhead, but it is, in my experience, lit white by the reflected sunlight. All came from the same part of the sky in succession and were closely grouped.

I don't know what to make of this but thought it unusual enough to report.
