November 19th Minnesota during the lunar eclipse at 3:15 am. I went out about 3 am and took several pictures of the moon. It was a perfect clear night and you could clearly see the red moon with the naked eye but I could not get a good picture with my iPhone. I had gone inside and was going to head to bed but decided to try one more time to get a photo. I went out in the back deck and looked up. I was trying to make my mind understand what it was seeing. There was a large odd shape silently moving across the sky. It looked like it was actually made up of many smaller objects that formed the overall shape. I called for my daughter who is 20 and my son who is 22 to come see. They had been up with me to watch the eclipse. For me I thought It looked like a flock of 100 medium glowing white birds silently flying in formation across the black sky. It was dead silence out. The whole thing lasted 20 seconds ish. I snapped a picture . But because it was pitch black out my iPhone did a extended exposure. So instead of seeing each individual “light” it came out in lines. But the overall shape is the same as it looked. My daughter could see the individual glowing objects that formed the overall shape. My son could not wrap his mind around what he was seeing. It went across the sky and then out of sight. Slow moving. It was a clear cloudless night and the overall shape was very clearly defined. It was above the trees but not as high up as a plane. The light to the right is a star. I wish I could have gotten a better picture but I’m glad a got the picture at all. Do you have a logical explanation for what we saw?
