For just a few moments... I thought they were here!
So, a few nights ago, I was flying the hospital helicopter from Albuquerque to Shiprock, NM. Just as we were passing a few miles East of Chaco Canyon, I looked to the west and saw what looked like a formation of about seventy spaceships coming over the horizon!
I even said over the intercom... "What the fuck is that!" (a huge formation of spaceships was the implied part!)
ARTISTS CONCEPTION:
As you can see from the artist conception, the space ships were all in formation in a line coming out of the west!
Over the next few minutes, the lights seemed to move off down the horizon to the south. They also looked like they weren't coming out of the west anymore but were just all lining up and going south.

The lights/space ships were only visible through Night Vision Goggles... looking with the naked eye, none on board could see anything thing.
All 4 of us on board could see them through the NVG's though. Two Paramedics, a Flight Nurse, and a pilot. A pretty solid bunch to make a claim to the press about what we had seen! (Which is where i figured this was going to go.)
To be honest, it felt a little like the scene in "Independence Day" when the giant spaceships all arrived and hovered over the cities... Though not as ominous given that it wasn't a full on Hollywood special effect... but more ominous because there was no f-ing doubt that this was real!
For a few brief moments... I considered the possibility that it was either aliens arriving. Just as realistic could also be that the government was launching some swarm of crazy anti-gravity spacecraft. What didn't seem plausible was that it was a formation of military aircraft. The formation was too perfect of a line, and there is no way short of war that we could get that many aircraft all up at once at the same time.
It was awing! Seeing something in the sky that weird and unbelievable! And we weren't the only ones!
Though, unfortunately after a small amount of research... it turns out that the explanation is much more mundane than aliens or antigravity starships...
It was SpaceX filling the sky with cheap communication satellites. A sort of global internet from space. Though the article mentions it, one of the first things I thought about after I learned what the lights really were, was that the night sky is about to never be the same again.
Just like most humans can barely see the stars where they live, soon even out in the middle of no-where... the sky is going to look like an interstate at night with spacecraft criss-crossing the stars and constellations for the rest of our lives.
I recommend if you want to see a sky with minimal human fingerprints on it... go see it soon, as it will not last long.
