Details:
Tonight I was out for possible NLC as the sky was clear at last, and was waiting for Venus to rise and until that time I took some pics of the Milky Way on the SW sky.
The objects appeared at 23:30:56 UT and the last one left the field of view at 23:23:56 (the time is in UT so the date was still 26.06. but at local time it was already 27.06.)
Location: Veszprem, Hungary
I made composite images (the second had some contrast enhancement) and a startrail image too. I could count 10 lines, they were almost parallel to each other.
I have no real idea about their nature but they might have been either some space junk or some satellite cluster. But one thing is sure: despite many long years of observing and photographing the sky, I have never before seen or captured anything like them.
