NUFORC Sighting 152863

Occurred: 2020-01-23 20:00 Local
Reported: 2020-01-25 19:31 Pacific
Duration: 5 minutes

Location: Lufkin, TX, USA

Shape: Formation
Characteristics: Lights on object

I was driving on Hwy 69 near Hwy 59 on North side of Lufkin and noticed 10-12 orange and white lights in a row in the sky. They were maybe 100 yards apart. At first, I thought they were radio tower lights, but as I kept driving, I noticed the lights were moving in a North to South direction. I stopped the truck and watched the lights, but I couldn't hear any noise like plane or helicopter. We only have 1 small airport that closes down at dark. The lights were about 2000 feet up and stayed in a general straight line and didn't seem to be moving very fast, until they were past me. Then they sped up and the lights disappeared.
