Initial data
An eyewitness from Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht reports:
He was moving like some kind of caterpillar. It looked like a glowing bird. Like a small train, but it didn't move gradually.
According to ufomeldpunt.nl, these are Starlink satellites
Original news
HENDRIK-IDO-AMBACHT, ZH — Het bewoog zich als een soort rups, het leek als een soort lichtgevende vogels. In een treintje maar bewoog zich niet geleidelijk.
Starlink satellieten
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.
