A long band formation spotted over Jay Peak Resort

I do seasonal work at a resort in Jay Vermont. Before going to sleep, I stepped outside to have a cigarette. I often look at the stars to watch for anything of not when I noticed a line of what looked like “moving star” slowly making their way from west to east. I immediately ran inside an found one friend because I could not believe my eyes, because there were four at first in a triangle formation. He pointed more out to me coming from the same direction, west to east. I noted that they were traveling almost parallel to the US/Canadian border. My friend still watching, I woke another friend up, who was at first skeptical. He came outside and confirmed what we were seeing. At one point, a single “star” shoot north over the horizon in a bright arc near the end of the event. It lasted long enough that my friends went back to sleep. The objects usually faded into the breaking light of dawn from beyond the horizon, but the last one I could spot shot off like a “! bright bullet” into the eastern sky.
