I just saw between 25 and 50 planes flying at high altitude directly east over Durham NC, all were in a perfect straight line with lights on.

VANITY

They made no sound, left no visable trail, and traveled from the western horizon to the eastern horizon.

I thought it was unusual, so I pointed it out to a Durhan Police Officer standing near me, and he thought so too.

They appeared to be very close in line, but it was hard to tell at that altitude.

Any ideas?

How could they fly in a straight line without massive turbulence?

Could be alien starship fleet gathering for a space battle around a different star.
