Arcadio Alvarez posted a video showing a line of moving lights, taken at 7.29pm on 3 December 2020. Unusually, the lights seem to be moving upwards, each light following the same trajectory as the one before. Eventually, the lights fade out.
"Just looking out the window towards the neighbors house and seen this. 7:29pm 12/3/2020 Dayton,Ohio ufo or something else . It disappeared . Nothing in the sky lasted less then 2min"
Another witness posted "I'm in Zanesville Ohio and I saw this also in the western sky. I
figured it was over Columbus but obviously it was a lot further west"
Analysis
Unusually for lights, these seem to be moving upwards from a point on the ground. They could be Chinese lanterns being launched, with the wind taking each on in turn in the same direction. The video look reminiscent of anti aircraft gun fire, with the lights being tracer rounds - I wonder if there is a gunnery range nearby.
Another possibility are the SpaceX StarLink satellites which do travel in a line. A quick look at Stellarium does show that in Dayton Ohio at 17:23 there is a string of Starlink satellites low in the sky traveling upwards from South to East. The video shows the lights traveling in the opposite direction but this is probably due to the fact that the phone records a mirror image.
Conclusion - Starlink Satellites
