Highway in the Sky

Annoying post with no actual evidence to back up a claim...

I was driving down through France from Calais on the Route d'Anglaise (A26) a couple of weeks ago. I was sharing the driving and was in the passenger seat. We were driving overnight and it was just before dawn - about 530am. Annoyingly I didn't take a map reading but we must have been just past Arras.

The stars were out and I looked up to the east, through the passenger window. It was beautiful. But as my eyes adjusted to see the stars I noted that some of them were moving. I literally had to do the cartoon rub of the eye sockets. There was a procession of lights. Looked like a highway in the sky. They didn't have coloured lights. Just white. The same size as the stars. As I was looking I was trying to work out if there was just one stream of lights going in one direction, or if there were two parallel streams going in opposite directions.

I guess I don't look up at the sky enough. Obviously this part of France is a hot spot. My main thought though is that it was a procession of military helicopters. But surely they have red and green lights. Maybe because I was pretty much directly underneath them that I only saw the white... Looking at the map (and thinking that the time of day was a commuter time) I wondered if maybe it was Parisian Politicians travelling to Brussels by helicopter in convoy. Their speed wasn't anything more than an acceptable measure and they were only travelling in a straight line. It was just that they were in convoy. And only white light.

Really weird. I really need to spend more time looking upwards at night.

Very happy to have seen my first UFO's - although not much especially unexplainable about them

Google "starlink satellites".

WOW - I saw it!

Makes perfect sense as they would have been reflecting the sun as it was almost about to break in the east.

Thank you for the clarity.

I knew it wasn't an alien invasion :/

Oddly enough, "Highway in the Sky" is the name for the supposed Flying Car skywway.

Shame really, it'd certainly take our minds off the petty things we seem hell bent on destroying ourselves over.

They may even cure the common cold, and the new, not so common cold.

Or they may simply carry out the job properly and turn us into rather pretty pink protein shakes, either or... lol
