SPIJKENISSE, ZH — Zag nu zelf allemaal licht puntjes 4 a 5 misschien 6 achter elkaar. Hebben ze weer wat de ruimte in geschoten in Amerika?
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.
Events
Rocket launches (from space.skyrocket.de)

Investigation
News: Starlink satellites surround the Earth
The American company SpaceX has an idea: to surround the Earth 42 000 satellites to provide broadband Internet access in any point of the globe. A project called Starlink worried astronomers. The satellites are quite bright and can interfere with the observations. Ulrich K. Banert saw this picture when I was flying a plane over the border of Canada and the United States on January 20.
