Original news
20 September 1973, 21:45 – Rælingen A light was seen near Ursa Major (also known as Big Dipper). A photo was shot as the light grew weaker, as if it was entering the Earth‘s shadow. The object disappeared in the WSW at approximately 35º elevation. Sounds very much like a satellite.
Hypotheses
Satellite
Ordinary satellites, which often look like single, not very bright luminous dots moving smoothly in the night sky, are quite often mistaken for UFOs. After the Starlink satellites (near-Earth satellite systems developed by SpaceX, in order to create a cheap and high-performance satellite Internet communication channel and technical transmitters for receiving and transmitting signals from earth and orbit) were launched, it became possible to observe groups of satellites (up to 60 pieces) flying one after another.
Investigation
Indeed, such behavior and appearance are characteristic for satellites. Unfortunately, it is not specified whether the moving object smoothly or abruptly.
