So - sitting on the back deck tonight after a hard days worth of work and kicking it with some dago red,,,
a slight beam of light grabs my attention - just barely visible, am I imagining it im asking myself? nope - it's definitely a beam of light but wait it's got lights within the beam, then the beam starts to fade, and the lights get way brighter --- 9? 12? 15? all traveling in the same direction and all evenly spaced apart, then no beam just the lights and very bright. and all traveling the same straight path no arcing or deviation...
Never EVER seen anything like this, No way a meteor or space junk, run through the house to grab the phone to call up a girl I know just blocks away and to catch another view and by the time I get to the other end of the house and go outside with the phone it's gone,,, go back to the back deck and it's gone, the rate of it's speed would have left me plenty of time to see it from both sides again as it was not that fast,,,
So what did I see? a bunch of Elon Musk starlink satellites all ran in series,,, and it was their angle with the sun that made them appear and vanish just as fast....
At least at first google that's my only explanation...
It was a very strange sight... kinda cool - but maybe still space junk that just has not met it's demise yet...
crazy times, expect to see this because it's "on the rise" as in thousands of them being put up there....
