There was a mysterious strand of lights spotted in the sky over Las Vegas early on Friday morning, reported Fox 5, leaving some residents in the area baffled as to what they might have seen.
According to Dylan Kendrick, a Fox 5 reporter, most of the lights that were seen were lined up in a single-file line. The lights were flying south before they disappeared into the darkness.
Kendrick took to Twitter for a bit of confirmation. He wrote, "Ummm promise I'm not loco but did anyone else see this around 5:10am this morning? I've never seen anything like it. #UFO?"

According to ABC 4 in Utah, the lights were spotted there as well. One Utah resident stated, "Early in the morning, I saw them flying in a straight line, there was a fleet of them flying over the mountains."
But, were the lights from aliens? No.
ABC 4 called Hill Air Force Base's 388th Fighter Wing to ask if they had been flying their high tech jets, but they said they weren't. A spokesperson said, "We were not flying this morning; maybe it was the Starlink Satellites?"
The Starlink Satellites are one of Elon Musk's latest tech adventures in providing internet service around the earth. And, according to a website that is recommended by SpaceX for tracking the satellites, they were right over parts of the western United States this morning. The website said that they could be seen shining "bright" for approximately two minutes.
So, the mystery was solved and it's not aliens this time.
