Groups of star-like objects following same path in sky.
1/11/20. Was on cruise ship between Cuba and Miami heading north/northeast. Our room was on the starboard side of the ship facing east. Was on the balcony at approximately 6:30 p.m. EST prior to the nearly full moon rising. Was looking at Betelgeuse to see if there were any significant changes in magnitude that I might notice with the unaided eye.
While l looking at Betelgeuse, I saw what I at first thought was a satellite passing just above it. It was just star-like light. I tracked it to the north of Betelgeuse just a few degrees before it dimmed out. Typical for a satellite. Then I looked back at Betelgeuse and there were 3 more identical objects, each following the other. In a straight line in a follow-the leader style. They followed the same path as the first lone object I observed and disappeared. At this time, I started yelling at my husband to come see because now there were two additional objects, followed my three to four more. I counted a total of 17 objects before this stopped. They were not evenly spaced and appeared in groups of 2 to 4 objects each. My husband did not get outside in time to see them. Total sighting lasted approximately a minute. Objects moved at about the speed of an orbiting satellite.
