Initial data
An eyewitness from Botlek Rotterdam says:
I saw at least 40! Lights take the same 20! minutes after a few seconds they disappeared from my sight !!! It was not a train, described as the companions, they were not neat and close to each other.
It was really spectacular, and then became less and I saw 1 from time to time.
They were moving too slow for shooting stars.
According to ufomeldpunt.nl a satellite Starlink.

Original news
BOTLEK ROTTERDAM, ZH — Ik zag minimaal 40!lichten in 20!minuten tijd dezelfde kant op gaan, binnen een paar seconden waren ze uit mijn zicht verdwenen!!! Het was niet het treintje zoals de satellieten worden omschreven, deze waren niet netjes en dicht achter elkaar .
Het was echt spectaculair om te zien, daarna werd het minder en zag ik ervan en toe nog 1
Ze gingen te langzaam voor vallende sterren
Starlink satellieten
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
Description deystvielno reminiscent of a group of satellites, however, the eyewitness does not correctly indicated the time of observation (23-00) which are not physically attacked, so you have to rely on the publication date of observation.
According findstarlink.com for location NETHERLANDS - Rotterdam:

News: Starlink satellites surround the Earth
The American company SpaceX has an idea: to surround the Earth 42 000 satellites to provide broadband Internet access in any point of the globe. A project called Starlink worried astronomers. The satellites are quite bright and can interfere with the observations. Ulrich K. Banert saw this picture when I was flying a plane over the border of Canada and the United States on January 20.
