A 3 football field long cigar shaped craft that cloaked to nothingness after 3 minutes of being visible
Sunday night, around 9pm PST. In the northwest sky up very high I saw what looked like lights in an array in the upper atmosphere, so at that moment I reasoned they were the Starlink satellites. I reasoned this at first because they appeared with lights the same color as the stars were coming one after another until they became long, united and straight.
It rapidly flew steadily without any sound at all. It came closer to me coming from the north sky about a 45 degree angle. It followed the exact same path that the lower flying commercial airlines constantly follow, only it was going in the opposite direction, heading north east, which was odd. At that same elevation in height it would have been in the way of one of the airliners coming in their usual direction they usually follow.
As it got closer to my location I noticed the lights were not lights, but looked like windows all along the long cigar shape of a silvery craft that I estimate it to be about 3 football fields long. As it continued rapidly north east, suddenly it disappeared into thin air like it cloaked itself or something. First it was there, then it was gone. I watched this thing in its flight pattern for over 3 minutes. I even looked away a couple times to see maybe it could have been like an illusion or something. No, it was real.
NUFORC Note:
Starlink trains disappear when they move into the earth's shadow.
