My husband took the dogs out to potty just before 7 PM MST, when he came back to the house he noticed a strange formation of lights in the sky, like stars but in a distinct straight line. He came in the house to get our little bird scope we have and told me he saw something strange. I thought he may have seen a comet, but when I walked on our deck I saw the same thing he did, a string of around 8 to 10 lights evenly spaced in the southern sky, they appeared to be moving slowly to the east in tandem. We both got a good look through the scope, and then it was gone. Like the lights went out. It looked like it could have been one object by the way it moved but we did not see anything other than the lights. We were unable to get a picture.
