In Metairie.. Went outside and to the west northwest sky there about a dozen vertical lights... Like the size stars from earth... They rose slowly and disappeared from top to bottom... No clouds to disappear behind.. This was about 20 minutes ago.. Any rockets launching or any thing else that could explain this strange occurrence?

I'm not saying it was aliens, but it was aliens.

I saw a line of those last night. It's Starlink or an alien invasion.

A Starlink satellite "train" refers to a string of bright lights moving across the night sky, which are actually Starlink satellites launched by SpaceX. These satellites are often seen closely grouped together shortly after launch, forming a visible "train" before dispersing to their operational orbits.

Clicked on this because I've seen strange lights twice in the past two weeks and it sounds like the exact same thing. A vertical line of 12-15 lights that appeared on the horizon, headed straight up, before quickly disappearing. Except I'm in AZ, and the lights came from the west, in the general direction of Vandenberg AFB, where I was guessing it was coming from. I can see the rockets when they take off from there at night, and they light up and streak across the whole sky and look like huge comets. This wasn't that.

They disappeared because they passed behind the earth’s shadow, why it was from top to bottom.

Space x launch a few months ago. First pic was the first time I'd seen one. I walked out of Safeway and almost shite myself.
