What are these small, distant lights climbing high in the sky? You might need to brighten your screen to see them better; just keep an eye out for a clearer view through the trees. I spotted this while driving home at 7:10 PM in Norwalk, CT. The nearest airport is a small municipal one located 20 miles to the north. As I continued on my way, I saw a plane heading toward NYC, flying lower than the highest light I observed. While the video doesn’t fully capture it, the series of lights extended even higher than what you can see. I tried to record it from my car, but the view was limited. As I drove slowly, I noticed the lights stopped appearing from the bottom as the last ones emerged from the top.
Interestingly, multiple dogs I passed were barking insistently at the edge of their yards, which struck me as unusual since I frequently drive down this street and have never seen them behave that way before.

That sounds like a fascinating sight! The string of lights you observed could potentially be a few different things. One possibility is that they were a formation of drones, as drone shows have become more popular for events and entertainment. These can create mesmerizing patterns and ascensions in the sky.
Another possibility might be a group of balloons or a meteorological phenomenon, but given the time and location, drones seem more likely. The dogs barking could also suggest that something unusual was happening in the area, possibly drawing their attention as well.
It’s always intriguing when we see things in the sky that are difficult to explain, especially in areas where they aren’t common. If you’re curious, you might want to check local social media groups or news sources to see if anyone else spotted the same thing or if there were any scheduled events that evening.
