Initial data

Initial information from sources or from an eyewitness

Incident date:

Location:

Вугт

Netherlands

A large bright light slowly moved towards the horizon and "went out". An eyewitness from the city of Vugt (North Brabant region) writes:

At first I thought it was Venus, so bright and bright, but then it slowly sank. The more it descended, the less bright the light became, and eventually the light went out after 20 seconds.

Original news

Groot fel licht, bewoog langzaam naar de horizon en "doofde" uit

VUGHT, NB — Eerst dacht ik dat het Venus was, zo fel en helder, maar toen zakte het langzaam naar beneden. Hoe meer het naar beneden zakte hoe minder fel het licht werd en uiteindelijk doofde het licht in 20 seconden.

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.
