Initial data
6 lights in a row, one after the other, all white, the 2nd light was brighter than the others, and the last 2 were close to each other. We watched him for about 10 seconds, then he disappeared.
I don't think it was an airplane, as I have observed many types of aircraft in the night sky and have never seen anything like it. I contacted scientnet, who said it wasn't a satellite.
It was about 19: 00 and I was standing at work in Bath, UK. I often look at the sky because I'm interested in the stars, and I also like airplanes.
I looked up at the sky and saw what I could only describe as a line of lights, there were 6 of them, and the 2nd light was brighter than the others, they were placed unevenly behind each other, and the last 2 were very close to each other. , they all had different brightness, there was no noise.
I immediately thought that it was 6 satellites. But after talking to someone, I was told that it could not be satellites. It was definitely not a plane, the lights were too far apart, of a different color and brightness. they were moving from south to north.
After observing them for about 10 seconds, they disappeared. Both of my colleagues saw exactly what I described. Can anyone explain what it could have been.

Summary: 6 lights all in a row, behind each other, all white, 2nd light was brighter than the rest and the last 2 were close together. Observed it for about 10 seconds then it faded away. I dont think it was an aircraft as I have observed many types of aircraft in the night sky and i have never seen anything like this, I contacted sciencenet who said it was not a satellite. It was approx 19:00 and I was standing outside my work in Bath UK. I often watch the sky as i am interested in the stars and I also like aircraft. I looked up at the sky and saw what i could only describe as a line of lights, there were 6 of them and the 2nd light was brighter than the rest, they were spaced out unequally behind each other and the last 2 were very close together, all of them had a varying brightness, there was no noise. I immediately thought that these were 6 satellites. But after talking to someone they told me it couldn’t have been satellites. This was definitely not an aircraft, the lights were too far apart and of a different colour and brightness. they were moving in a South to North heading.
After watching them for about 10 seconds they faded and disappeared. Both my colleagues saw exactly what i have described. Could anyone possibly offer an explanation to what this could have been.
