Plausibility14/100

A steady single-file procession of lights that fade at the same point in the sky is the signature of a satellite train leaving Earth’s shadow. A deployment matching the timing is on public record. The Bureau appreciates the witnesses’ report and the quality of the photograph. Routed for automatic closure.
