20 points of light for 1 minute, watched the witness from Venlo:

Smaller than most stars, which you can see. Less bright than the stars and planes, are not visible through the phone's camera.

They were a little slower than usual aircraft and moving in the same direction.

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.

News: As satellites Starlink spoil astronomy

David Blanchard of Flagstaff city in the U.S. state of Arizona decided to capture the connection of Venus and Uranus in Aries March 4, but with the planets at the sudden got "star-bombing".

"During the exposure half a dozen Internet Starlink satellites flew between planets. At least one satellite broke and for a short time became one of the brightest objects in the sky brighter than it was only the Moon, Venus and, maybe, Sirius," said the photographer.
