Initial data
An eyewitness from the city of Almelo (Overijssel) writes:
UFO over Almelo (unidentified flying object). This morning, at about 5 o'clock, a very strange object flew over Almelo. An elongated luminous string with the speed of a modern airplane. Unfortunately, the records are not very good. But of course he is special.
Original news
Langgerekt aaneenschakeling van verlichting
ALMELO, OV — UFO boven Almelo (undefined flying object) . Hedenochtend rond 5 uur vloog boven Almelo een heel bijzonder vreemd object. Een langgerekt verlicht sliert, met de snelheid van een modern vliegtuig. Helaas zijn de opnames niet heel erg goed. Maar bijzonder is het zeker.
Starlink satellieten
Een recente lancering van een cluster 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.
