Think we are in for an increase in reported sightings around the world going forward...🤔
Just saw a string of about 24 bright lights moving across the early morning sky around 06:45 this morning. Quite spectacular view watching them move in a line from West to East.....A new addition to the night sky?

Spacex put a string of satellites into orbit recently...about 60 in total.
It moves across the sky like a long chain of lights...in formation....
Butit will most likely cause confusion to many.....but quite a fantastic sight to see unexpectedly...

I've often had satellite images of stars showing a long white streak through the photograph caused by a moving satellite. There are thousands up there now.
Thanks.

Ive seen many a strange light with the telescope back in the day, but nowt that i'd immediately think alien spacecraft. Most jump to that conclusion because they haven't the faintest idea what's up there. Most are just meteors, satellites as they wobble along their orbit, space junk re entry, chinese lanterns, laser lights etc. The strangest are those lights that suddenly appear from nowhere and disappear just as quick which are iridium flares.

You can find the time that they flare online now. They are good to spot. You are right Phil about the ignorance regarding the night sky observation. Most people no longer look up. Light pollution is atrocious everywhere.
But you still never know what you might see when you look up in life...👽

This is what I saw....this was taken from Japan recently.
It is a most unusual sight to see even knowing what it is...
Reminds me of the first time I saw the ISS and the space shuttle coming along side it over head years a go...
