I just finished watching it for the 10th time and think I have figured out what it is. If you watch the object over and over you will see a pattern develop within the object. By that I mean the way it moves is consistent with get this a plane pulling a banner. Yup watch it over and over you too will be able to see it once you know what you are looking for
That explains why you only see the lights from one end because the pulling plane is always on the end.

So then where is the plane?

At least thats what it looked like, it was pretty high up.

EXACTLY how high was that? I must have been sleeping when the radar data was posted.
The object did not look much higher than the adjacent buildings to me.

Here's a report with an interesting night photo of one of these 'worms'. I've always found this photo to be intriguing.

I especially find the words like 'skim' and 'rolling' to be helpful in reports like this.

You have voted Jagman for the Way Above Top Secret award.

Google "Near Space Maneuvering Vehicle".
It was a prototype developed for the USAF Space BattleLab. It's propsed functions included high-altitude, long duration recon/surveillence, targeting, and communications support.
It was designed to fly mostly unobserved at high altitude over a battlefield, or area of interest. It was also constructed of low-RF signature materials: Nylon, Mylar, carbon fiber, paper/urathane foam composite.
The original was destroyed in a wind-storm years ago; but as I said in a prior post, the AF retained the wreckage.
The NSMV is envisioned as being used in conjunction with existing platforms like Northrop-Grumman’s Global Hawk high-altitude (40,000 feet) unmanned aerial vehicle in order to support tactical engagements. Program officials claim that the 175-foot variant could, at 120,000 feet altitude, use a regular communication suite and electro-optic sensor to monitor an ellipse of ground 400 nautical miles wide. The 175-foot variant is thought to cost around $500,000 per air vehicle. Still to be determined is how the system can handle ultraviolet light in near-space and whether it can survive being buffeted around jet streams (which reside at about 30,000 to 45,000 feet altitude). (Jane’s Defence Weekly, Sept. 17, 2003 )
Because most of its surface area is nylon, the vehicle can’t be detected by radar. It also is a high-altitude balloon, so it can hang unnoticed in near-space for days over one city, terrorist training camp or person of interest.

Like I said, I actually did some research unlike many of you that are saying I don't know what I'm talking about.
Springer, I watched the full video and that's where my suspicions came from.
Sorry everyone but it's not a giant intergalactic worm. Again, it's JMO.
