Very strange night sky lights rutland meet

[Molly 3]

Round the fire about midnight we all saw a very strange line of lights crossing the sky .it was an amazing unexplainable sight . not exaggerated by vodka.

I have found out what it was. We saw the SapceX launch of 60 Starlink satellites. 60 satellites 440km above the Earth moving together in a long string illuminated by the Sun.

A truly awesome sight to see with the naked eye.

Wow! This Is What SpaceX's Starlink Satellites Look Like in the Night Sky

Very cool (spooky if you never knew at the time)

 

[dalspa]

Wow! Would have loved to see that.

Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man unable to see the night sky.?

 

[oppy]

It was noisy too

 

[Campervanannie]

Those that didn’t see it missed something spectacular and the theories that we came up with was anything from meteor showers to Trump launching ??? yes a small amount of drink was involved.

 

[Phantom]

It was a pretty cool sight to see.
