Initial data
An eyewitness from the city of Heiloo writes:
I could see tiny balls of light from the "shining stars". They became more and caught fire. And disappeared.
The sphere kept going straight and went in the same direction. 2 spheres in rapid succession, and when they disappeared again, 2 vernalis ago.
At first I thought about the plane but the balls kept coming. Always with one and the same point, became very bright and disappeared again.
It took at least 5 minutes and I saw at least 20 bulbs. I went to take your cell phone to take pictures, but when I returned they were gone.

Original news
HEILOO, NH — Ik zag kleine lichtbollen uit een "flinkerende ster" komen. Deze werden groter en lichtte op. En verdwenen. De lichtbollen bleven achtereen komen en gingen dezelfde richting op. 2 bollen snel achtereen en als ze verdwenen waren kwamen er weer 2. Eerst dacht ik een vliegtuig maar de lichtbollen bleven maar komen. Steeds vanuit hetzelfde punt, werden heel helder en verdwenen weer. Het heeft zeker 5 minuten geduurd en ik heb zeker 20 bollen gezien. Ik ben naar binnen gegaan om mijn mobiel te halen om te filmen maar toen ik terug kwam was het verdwenen
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.

News: SpaceX successfully put into orbit another 60 Internet satellites Starlink
Heavy carrier rocket Falcon 9 on Thursday successfully launched into low earth orbit a new batch of 60 mini-satellites, designed to deploy a global Internet-coating system Starlink, said the developer SpaceX.
Now her orbital group consists of 480 spacecraft. Currently, the company SpaceX is the largest satellite operator in the world.
The launch of the two-stage Falcon 9 rocket SpaceX was carried out on 3 June at 21:25 on the East coast of the United States (June 4, 04:25 MSK) from launch complex LC-40 at the launch site NASA at Cape Canaveral in Florida.
