Could they be the Starlink satellites?

The lockdown is sending nut-job, JP, into hyperspace.

Gone nowabout 10 in a row,to the eye again it would look like a white light that would resemble a sattelite very high up. I counted 10 before posting. All in a nice line crossing over in equal distance apart. Mmmm....No conspiracy theories but what could they have been

David Icke has talked about this.

Starlink satellites?I will look that upGet on your YouTube MB,THEY ARE COMING FOR YOU

Julian Pavey ● 2390d

Starlink Satellites.Just looked at a video and the tailend of what i watched in the video is exactly what i see over head. If you wind to about 20 secs,that is what i exactly see above. Did i miss the first part ?

Don't worry - we have seen them too, a few weeks ago!Elon Musk cluttering up the skies, that is all. My husband stood and watched with me as about 20 went overhead.. and since my husband saw them I knew I was not imagining things!Mr Musk's SpaceX business has been launching the satellites in batches of 60 since last May, with a total of 300 having been fired into the sky so far. However, the numbers are expected to ramp up rapidly. The company has US approval to launch 12,000 satellites, and is hoping to do so by the mid-2020s. Last year, it filed paperwork to launch an extra 30,000 Starlink satellites.The plan is ultimately to create an orbiting network which can provide global internet coverage.

Ah Thanks allFirst ive come accross this. Thought they were stars not moving but me possibly going dizzy so re-focused and thought,what the blooming heck are those.Another around 3.30 from the Brecon Beacons

Julian Pavey ● 2390d

Julian, I nipped out after previous posting - they are in the process of sailing over us as I type! Different direction to the ones we saw a few weeks ago.. but coming up from a southwestish direction.. I presume you are in London?

Delilah Hall ● 2390d

Yes Hold on a mo..

Julian Pavey ● 2390d

I would say they are heading for kind of wales direction

Julian Pavey ● 2390d

It'll be the alien invasion I've been expecting -- the icing on the cake. Prepare to be probed.

Susan Kelly ● 2390d

Ooh.. well I am in Suffolk so they are going in the wrong direction then! Ours were heading north-east!! Called husband out and he caught the last one and agrees the direction.. so ours were heading away from Wales!

Delilah Hall ● 2390d

Just thought something.We had the 5G,now it will be down to elon musk and his sat's

Julian Pavey ● 2390d

I think it is all down to Marvin the Martian and his Illudium Q-36 Space Modulator.

Delilah Hall ● 2390d

Deliah,take no notice of me,ive got my bearings wrong looking up and thinking to fast. You are correct,you see the same as me

Julian Pavey ● 2390d

Phew - thought for a minute someone else was launching the blighters as well!

Delilah Hall ● 2390d

Now, if i had known and with this lockdown i would have invested in a telescope.

Excellent.. should be a good watching sky tonight, hopefully as good on Monday and Tuesday nights.

Delilah Hall ● 2390d

Well I definitely saw them high in the sky travelling in a sort of formation from West to East...at 9.45pm tonightNot like a string of beads but a convoy of high and distant aircraft. Very odd. Reminded me of the early 1940s in Chiswick when formations of say 20 aircraft flew high across our skies.

Jim Lawes ● 2390d

You see the same as me Jim.

Julian Pavey ● 2390d

I guess if you hold a ruler upto the sky ate arms length they would be 12" apart in a straight convoy,same height and no deviation in travel heading very high up

Julian Pavey ● 2390d

Yes.. agree with the ruler analogy. We really were mystified the first time we saw them.. had to ask on my local village facebook and was given the answer.Be much more exciting though if there was no explanation!

Delilah Hall ● 2390d

Thats true,would have me thinking for days

Julian Pavey ● 2390d

Germany tonight
