No outline of the object it was like a long worm the sky was dark 15-20 lights emitting from what appeared to be its side

This object appeared quite high in the sky there are always aircraft flying in the night sky (non at the time of the sighting) coming into Malta Airport the object was a lot higher than local air traffic

It was its length that caught our eye and the fact it was at least 4-5 times the length of any aircraft flying at that height its speed was that of an aircraft
Not fast but again not slow and flying in a different direction to local aircraft traffic a local witness told us the direction it was travelling Malta towards Sicily
As it was dark the shape of the object couldn't be identified it was like a worm with white lights.

The lights were the same size and distance apart without noise or any other flashing lights or power source as it went into the distance the lights slowly disappeared merged to one as it disappeared into the night sky
