No it wasn’t aliens, and we weren’t under attack. The strange string of lights in the sky Monday night wasn’t a natural space phenomenon, either. But the site was still pretty darn cool. It’s not official but it’s likely what you saw was a Starlink Internet satellite train of possibly 50 satellites launched and headed into their orbits. The train was visible for about 3 minutes over Mount Pleasant at about 8:20 Monday night. These trains are periodically launched and according to a schedule found online there was a train sent out last night over Iowa.
