When investigating sufficiently dense star fields, one often finds some short chains of stars oriented with a certain regularity and in a few cases connected with dark filaments of the galactic nebulae. It is necessary to be very cautious in the interpretation of this phenomenon, because even completely accidental clustering of some objects can sometimes lead to interesting deviations from homogeneity.
