'S-HERTOGENBOSCH, NB — Nu live te zien boven den bosch, gehele reis van 100den lichten die langzaam bewegen. Allemaal dezelfde richting op. Dit is de 2e x dat ik dit zie. Niet op video vast te stellen. Te donker. Daarom hoop ik dat mensen dit nu lezen.

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.
