F-16 crews reported multiple possible objects

A pair of F-16CM jets on a defensive patrol over the ESSA killbox on 31 March 2023 observed multiple possible unidentified objects, several bright ones moving quickly west to east. The count of ten to twenty sounds dramatic, but it happened inside a mission where bright objects and sensor limits need careful checking. The number is striking, yet the public record never identifies the objects.
