Hmm, a string of lights you say...?This was a day after the launch of Starlink satellites batch G4-14 on 21 April.

The aircraft in question, and the others that reports seeing something...

This news report suggests that the Starlink G4-14 was visible form Michigan at about 9.49 pm that night and for about 5 mins:

According to the website Findstarlink, which tracks the movements of the satellites, the most recent time someone living in Metro Detroit could have seen one was around 9:49 p.m. Starlink-G4-14 could be seen for about five minutes. Residents would have needed to look from the northwest to the south.

The Time in the article matches the time of the sighting....

"the lights turned off"
Passed behind a cloud?

"but he could still see something there"
The cloud, possibly with some bleed-through light from the satellites?

Or went into the earth's shadow?

Ah, I had thought it implied that the lights came back on later, but rereading it I was in error. Just flying out of the sunlight would also be very possible.

This video is pretty cool... this is the actual pass in question.... @JMartJr - it even shows the starlink train entering the earth's shadow and the lights appearring to 'switch off'.
