Initial data
An eyewitness from Midsland writes:
A bright white sphere (similar to a very bright satellite), but leaves much more light and a long line behind it. Without sound. I got the impression that this object was "flying" much closer to Earth than a normal satellite. The speed was very high.
Original news
MIDSLAND, FR — Felle witte bol (vergelijkbaar aan een erg felle satelliet) maar veel meer licht en een lange streep achter zich latend. Geen geluid. Mijn indruk was dat dit object veel dichter bij de aarde ‘vloog’ dan een normale satelliet. De snelheid was extreem hoog.
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
We can assume that this is the ISS. It is much brighter than a normal satellite.
