Shaun Ervin checked in from Clawson with the same description of the unusual line of lights.
"My wife and I were walking in Clawson approx. 9:50 p.m. tonight when we saw something in the sky. A long line of lights moving from north to south. We took pictures and videos. Suddenly, the lights dimmed and finally disappeared. Whatever this phenomenon was, was gigantic," he said.

FOX 2's Chief Meteorologist Rich Luterman said he thinks it is a meteorite or a satellite being launched. He added it might be Space X-related.
According to the American Meteor Society, Lyrids become active during the month of April from the 15th through the 29th. There has been no word yet on tonight's activity.
