"Long rope" of 30 - 40 cm from where I was standing, on the ground. This is one (plane 1 cm) with all the light points on 1 straight line. This formation was moving to the East with points.

Hypotheses
Satellite
Ordinary satellites, which often look like single, not very bright luminous dots moving smoothly in the night sky, are quite often mistaken for UFOs. After the Starlink satellites (near-Earth satellite systems developed by SpaceX, in order to create a cheap and high-performance satellite Internet communication channel and technical transmitters for receiving and transmitting signals from earth and orbit) were launched, it became possible to observe groups of satellites (up to 60 pieces) flying one after another.
Investigation
Data from the site findstarlink.com for location NETHERLANDS - Utrecht:
