I believe you are describing something I have seen two times in the last year. It was even brought up on the NextDoor app as another neighbors saw it, described it and was shook-up over it (as I was…particularly my last siting of it). FYI I live in Denver CO.
Basically, what we both saw were 7-10 very light dots, almost too faint to see, moving at ridiculous speed in an arrowhead or similar formation. First time I saw it it was going south to north…then last time it was moving north to south. Absolutely no sound, no flashing lights, but insane speed. Took 15 seconds to traverse the entire sky. As a comparison, the ISS or a Starlink flyover takes at least 4-6 minutes.
It was most definitely NOT Starlink. I have thousands of hours stargazing and know one of those from a spy satellite from a Iridium Flare from a plane from spinning rocket debris, etc…this moved exponentially faster and in a completely different pattern than Starlink. I’ve seen 4 flyovers of those…and these couldn’t be more different. Every time I’ve mentioned it it’s the response I get as well….it’s something different.
The last time I saw it, about 6 weeks ago…for whatever reason the hair stood up on the back of my neck and I got choked up the second I saw it. That’s how impactful it was to me.

Reply to Does anyone have information about Russian space SHUTTLES? just saw a post with a picture of it, didn’t know they existed! by freeastronaut2100
My Dad went over to the Soviet Union right before it collapsed and was able to purchase a whole bunch of Soviet equipment for his space museum…including a Soyuz he later sold to NASA they used for their Soyuz training in regards to the ISS. When he was over there they literally tried to sell him the Buran. It was this crazy time when everything in their space program not nailed down to a launch pad went up for sale to the highest bidder. Oligarchs gotta oligarch.

No it is not. I’ve seen 9 Starlink passes. The fastest I’ve seen a line pass-over is one that came over a few hours after launch. It took 3 minutes to do its pass. Always a straight line. This was an arrow-shaped formation with the point of the arrow leading the others, with one directly behind it. It traversed the entire sky in 15 seconds…over 15x faster than the fastest Starlink passover.
