A flock of 1000 lighted ducks soaring between Mars and Earth blocking Mars for a split second.

I was leaving for work at 10:15 pm and while walking out of my house I noticed how many stars were out and how bright they were. I looked south to see how bright Mars was was and saw a bunch of tiny stars I thought. Istood there thinking what constallation is that? The longer I stood there I noticed it was moving! It looked like a thousand stars in a concurve line, moving south. It was between me and Mars because for a split second Mars was gone. I went to work and asked people if they saw anything but no one did. The best way to describe it would to be as if I was watching a thousand ducks in a flock with lights on them and instead of a v in a concurve line with an aura around them. What ever it was it was beautiful.
