I busted out my dusty night vision scope the other night and was using it to watch the night sky.

I let my eyes adjust to the dark then take in the whole sky not focusing on anything. When something cought my eye i focused in on that area with the night vision.

Its a rare sight to see an actual airplane in the sky, but there's way more than usual amounts of satellite traffic.

There's 2 kinds of satellite traffic, spinning and non spinning. The spinning ones flash occasionally when a surface catches a good glint of light. Then there are the ones that stay roughly the same brightness depending on where they are reflecting light from.

But 3 nights ago with the night vision i saw something new to say the least. And it happens again each night.

A wagon train of Very small faint "satellites" heads into view from left and under the handle of the big dipper heading south. I couldn't count them but the wagon train goes on across the sky for around a half hour. Between 11 and 12 est. They run at different altitudes and distances between eachother. It honestly reminds me of the wagon train of ships from Battlestar Galactica.
