3am this morning, I've never seen anything like this - 9/20/22 - Boulder, CO - looking southeast

Boulder CO, I'm sitting on my patio as I do every night. The only viability I get looking up from the patio is usually a couple planets, stars, and the occasional plane from Denver International Airport which is off to the left of where this video is pointing (I pan over to the moon at one point,  the airport is over there). I'm familiar with these things since I look at them on a daily basis.

So I'm on my patio playing with my camera on my phone, looking at what clearly was an airplane, when all of the sudden it looked like a bunch of stars just appeared from behind some clouds. Zooming out, it looks like a formation.

So I've got Neil deGrasse Tyson on one shoulder saying, "Stars. Planets. Starlink. You're a moron."

But then I got Fox Mulder on the other shoulder going, "Why are these stars appearing now in this pattern? Why don't you see them every night? And why are they so goddammit bright?"

I went inside after my phone died and told my wife and plugged my phone in. When we came back outside I couldn't see them anymore.

I uploaded the video to YouTube because Reddit doesn't allow over 2GB.
