Location: Estacada, OR, USA

Shape: Light

Stepped out the back door to let the dog out, the lights were out in the kitchen so it was dark, I lit my cigarette and looked west and saw what I thought was a satellite but then another and another for a total of 18 best guess. They were orange in color, traveled at what a satellite would cross the sky, they were in a perfect line, all appearing in the same spot and disappearing in the same spot 2/3 the way across the sky towards the east.

I called for my wife to come see what I was seeing and she saw at least 7 or 8 and went back inside because it was cold. As I continued to watch I started noticing that it appeared that random stars would start moving in all different directions to many to count. Went back out half hour later, gave it 10 minutes and didn't see anything further. I didn't bother trying to video, it was dark and my phone takes terrible videos.
