Initial data
An eyewitness from Tilburg (North Brabant region) reports:
It was a bright green band with green specks in the sky, but after that there were at least 15 light points that went sequentially from Goirl Ril to Udenhout in the same direction as this light band.
I didn't hear the planes, they were brighter and larger, like a bright spot of a satellite. Almost as big as bright stars, just a little more dim color. I didn't notice any flashing lights that can usually be seen on airplanes.
Between the light points, which passed on the same path one by one, there really was a celestial chasm. I've never seen anything like it with planes or satellites.
Original news
TILBURG, NB — Het was een fel groene streep met groene spikkels door de lucht, maar daarna zijn er zeker 15 lichtpunten die vanaf Goirle Riel richting Udenhout achter elkaar de zelfde richting op gingen als die licht streep. Ik hoorde geen vliegtuigen ze waren feller en groter als een lichtpunt van een satelliet. Bijna net zo groot als de felle sterren van het steelpannetje. Alleen iets doffer van kleur, ik zag geen knipperde lichten die normaal bij een vliegtuig te zien zijn.
Er zat wel Echt een hemels groot gat tussen van ruimte van die lichtpunten die solo achter elkaar precies de zelfde weg op gingen. Dat heb ik nooit gezien met vliegtuigen of met satellieten.
Hypotheses
Light sources on clouds
Lasers, searchlights, car headlights and other light sources of sufficient power can form a column of light in a dusty or foggy atmosphere, various patterns on low clouds, fog or haze. Also, the rays can highlight parts of the cloud, objects or birds, giving them bizarre shapes.
Searchlights can shine with one beam, several. They can be stationary, move, and also form spinning carousels on the clouds, which can change shape and color.
It often seems that the light source is located at the point where the beam hits the cloud, and not vice versa.
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
The green stripe can be a green laser beam used by amateur astronomers. He probably indicated a place to look to see Starlink satellites.
According to the findstarlink.com website for the LOCATION OF NETHERLANDS - Tilburg:
3:11 am, 10 Aug 2020
Starlink-9,10, BRIGHT (3.7) for 2 mins
Look from EAST to EAST (details)
Elevation (from horizon): start: 46°, max: 46°, end: 10°4:44 am, 10 Aug 2020
Starlink-9,10, BRIGHT (3.1) for 6 mins
Look from WEST to EAST (details)
Elevation (from horizon): start: 12°, max: 65°, end: 11°
So it's probably Starlink-9.10.
