50+ ufo Stuart’s Draft Virginia

Earlier tonight i saw approximately 50 lights in the sky flying left to right in a straight line. They would come into sight and travel about ten to 15 degrees about 20 to 30 degrees above the horizon. We would see about 8 at a time as they were appearing on the left and disappearing on The right. This went on for about 8 minutes. There was also a plane in the sky slightly above the line of lights flying right to left at a much slower speed.

I had a bright flashlight and shined t at the sky and the flying lights were still quite bright.

Maybe a formation of military jets but fifty is a lot.

This was in Stuart’s draft, va 2250-2258. Is there anyone else that observed this?

Search Starlink Satellites... if that what you saw you can thank Elon Musk for permanently polluting your night sky.

Sounds like the Starlink satellite train to me.

Starlink.

I think I saw the Starlink satellites on Thurs. the 6th at around 10:20 or about a hour after sunset. They were lined up with a star and started appearing after it like the star was ejecting parachutes. Then after about 30 degrees of arc after the star they would go dark as they entered the Earth's shadow. It was interesting to watch and it lasted around 10-15 minutes or so.

Was so excited as I am just camping here & rushed out of RV hoping to see something...
Some stars & now clouds rolling in, sorry I couldn't help you.

First I have heard of the Starlink satellites. I do not think much of it myself. Thanks for posting Bunch.

I remember when I saw Starlink a few months ago here in WI. It was pretty spectacular, one after the next they just kept going. It reminded me of that light parade on the lagoon at Disney world. I noticed a couple of them were "out of line" with the rest by a few degrees. I knew what it was right away but it was still pretty marvelous to watch them pass.
