       Looks to me like a ping followed by a UDP connect.
    Ten Extra IP addresses were probably inserted as
    decoys.
       I would assert that only one of those eleven IPs
    are your scanner.
       I believe that NMAP would look like this, if
    configured to ping first and use ten decoys. Blocking
    icmp at your firewall is a good way mitigate blind
    scans.
