NUFORC Sighting 155955

Occurred: 2020-04-27 21:00 Local
Reported: 2020-04-28 18:52 Pacific
Duration: 10 seconds
No of observers: 2

Location: Chesapeake, VA, USA

Shape: Other
Characteristics: Lights on object

Five lights (looked like stars) moving south one behind the other and disappeared in succession.

Was out on back porch and looked up toward the east. The sky was clear and I saw about five lights, they looked exactly like stars, moving in a perfect line southbound. The lights were perfectly distanced apart (about 20 feet) and appeared extremely high. The lights were moving a bit faster than an airliner would fly at cruising altitude. After about 10 seconds, the first light disappeared and the remaining lights all disappeared in succession at the same spot the first light disappeared.

The area where I live is near Fentress Airfield which is a landing practice field for the USN. I have been around military aircraft most of my life and know these lights were not known aircraft (civilian or military). There was no sound at the time.
