Initial data
An eyewitness from Zandvoort writes:
Sometimes they came in twos and then three in a row with gaps between them. In a straight. From South to North in Zandvoort. I shot it, but I can't add a video.
Original news
ZANDVOORT, NH — Ze kwamen met soms twee dan weer drie achter elkaar met ruimte ertussen. In een rechte lijn. Van zuid richting noord in zandvoort. Ik heb t gefilmd maar kan t niet toevoegen
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
Based on the description of an eyewitness, these may be Starlink satellites.
According to the site findstarlink.com for the NETHERLANDS - Haarlem location:
6:11 am, 18 Sep 2020
Starlink-11,12, BRIGHT (2.4) for 4 mins
Look from SOUTHWEST to EAST (details)
Elevation (from horizon): start: 21°, max: 68°, end: 11°This may not be visible, based on recent user reports
Thus, due to time coincidences, they are most likely satellites.
