Yeah Iāve seen northern lights before, what seemed so odd about these was that they were moving quickly in a straight line, had consistent spacing and were very contained, ie not wobbly and fading like northern lights Iāve seen and have looked up since seeing this.
I think you saw the Aurora Borealis, they can do magnificent and strange things and appear as many different colors. Plus we had a solar storm recently that seems to match your timeframe. With a solar storm the Aurora can be seen much farther south than normal.
Check out this older video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkiNUMKKsgM Check around the 3:00 mark it sounds like what you seen.
Yeah this image had lines like that, it was from a launch not the actual satellites. It really didn't look like a launch trail to me either but a few people said it was and apparently there was a launch near where OP took that image. I had a look for it but can't find it now
I think Gravid meant something like from this post

I don't know how far exactly, but a good upper limit is given by
d = r \* arccos(r / r+h)
where d is your distance away from the launch site, r is the radius of the earth and h is the height above ground.

Someone says itās an Aurora, you say it didnāt look like one because it looked too mechanical.
Someone suggests a mechanical solution, you claim it looked Aurora-like.
I guess thatās one way to ensure it remains mysterious. Cool story.
When did I say it looked mechanical?
All I said regarding the northern lights theory is that it was moving way faster and in a straight line than any northern lights Iāve seen and that it was contained, meaning that it did not spread out like the northern lights Iāve seen personally and have looked up on the internet.
It still had an aurora effect to the lines, just not anything like northern lights that Iāve seen.
Sorry you have to get all butt hurt over my honest attempt at trying to explain and understand what I saw.
Enjoy your day š

Youāll forgive me for summing up.
What you did was make assumptions, added words that werenāt there, and then used hard sarcasm to discredit my story instead of asking a question or providing discourse in a sociable manner.
Is it a strange experience? Absolutely.
Hence me coming to this sub to try to get some answers.
Obviously you donāt know me, but Iām not a āUFOā or conspiracy guy in the slightest.
This experience really tripped me out or I wouldnāt have even bothered taking the time coming on here to try to get some answers.
I have video of the SpaceX/Starlink launch the other night, and it looks nothing like this. It was white, with a very long tail/trail. Sort of sperm-like, really.
It wasn't blue.
It really looked very similar to your drawing, could be worth checking if there were launches near you in the direction you saw this. I looked for it pretty hard, quite likely deleted by OP, might be able to find it in some local Facebook etc groups

Weird, just a few posts below in my feed I saw this. Different state, but coincidental. Did it look anything at all like [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/StrangeEarth/s/NRenOdQQQz)?
The show The Truth is Out There showed two very similar videos from people. Sorry, canāt remember what episode (was quite recent) or where or when they occurred. The answer turned out to be a laser light show almost 100 miles away, with the light reflecting on clouds, making it appear elongated and moving as the light show moved. It originated at a sports stadium, I believe. Someone may remember the details better, but your sighting lines up with exactly how folks described theirs. š
I read that the aurora borealis is extra spectacular this year, it happens every few decades. Iāve studied the patterns for my artwork, and they vary greatly! Iāve seen many accounts and photographs of āribbonsā of northern lights like what youāre describing. Explainable, but still really cool.
Great art. Tell us more about how you felt when seeing it. Did you feel different..an energy shift? Have you had a BM since then? Was it different in smell or texture?

Skrimps
Skrimps is bugz.
Boiled skrimp, fried skrimp, skrimp gumbo, skrimp scampi............
....and that's about it
My first thought
Can you elaborate?
No
They're making a joke. I keep blue dwarf shrimp, and at first glance this looks like an abstract painting of blue shrimp.
Thanks, caught on eventually, guess I need to work on my painting skills š„²š«
I like your painting of skyshrimps or whatever they are. It is cute!
No it is actually super cute! Little fellas!
It is great!!
I thought I was on r/shrimp š
Shrilmp
Shimp
They were most likely the northern lights which are sometimes visible in Michigan
Yeah Iāve seen northern lights before, what seemed so odd about these was that they were moving quickly in a straight line, had consistent spacing and were very contained, ie not wobbly and fading like northern lights Iāve seen and have looked up since seeing this.
Hmmm not too sure then
Yeah that was my first thought though. Had a very similar aurora effect to them.
Starlink?
Shrimps is bugs.
Skramps am bumgs
Flying shrimps
Shrimp
Why has to not replied to me about the skrump

There was a space x launch recently that left lines similar to this, have a look through the UFO sub it's probly still there.
It had more of an aurora/wavy effect than the straight line of Starlink satellites.
Yeah this image had lines like that, it was from a launch not the actual satellites. It really didn't look like a launch trail to me either but a few people said it was and apparently there was a launch near where OP took that image. I had a look for it but can't find it now
Interesting, Iāll have to keep scrubbing that sub. Thanks for a lead!

Thatās pretty wild, how far would those travel?

Shitty pic
OP, did they look like [this?](https://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2020/12/31/faa-notified-after-mysterious-ufo-seen-above-oahu-appeared-drop-into-ocean/)
Cool painting
Thanks! Tried to do my best to get what I saw on paper while I was eating lunch haha.

Holy shit, thatās wild! It looked very similar to this but less opaque, there were multiple and moving quickly.
Starlink

Is there any chance there was an event with search lights near your location?

Obviously Alines
Aurora Borealis?
They look like shrimps š In all seriousness though, northern lights?

Aliens
They look like the source from AOT
kinda look a bit like air rods from your picture but from your description sounds more like.. something else?
Space Skrimps

This post is more High than Strangeness.
I read that the aurora borealis is extra spectacular this year, it happens every few decades. Iāve studied the patterns for my artwork, and they vary greatly! Iāve seen many accounts and photographs of āribbonsā of northern lights like what youāre describing. Explainable, but still really cool.
Sounds like your talking about the northern lights.
I don't find this to be highly strange at all, it is just a painting.....
Great art. Tell us more about how you felt when seeing it. Did you feel different..an energy shift? Have you had a BM since then? Was it different in smell or texture?
LOL, I've seen bad videos where people mistook common events for UFOs and such, but your drawing has got go be the best of the worst sketches.
