Бунсхотен-Спакенбург
Netherlands

A long string with light was seen in the sky by an eyewitness from the city of Bunshoten-Spackenburg (Utrecht region).

He's writing:

There is no sound. Something elongated. Bigger and longer than the plane, and it was moving. It was like some kind of flying train.

 According to ufomeldpunt.nl These are Starlink Satellites:

On August 9, the next launch of a cluster of 52 Starlink satellites took place. Read more here: https://www.spacex.com/launches/sl4-26/

BUNSCHOTEN-SPAKENBURG, UT — Geen geluid. Langwerpig iets. Groter en langer dan een vliegtuig en het bewoog. Het zag eruit als een soort vliegende trein.

Hypotheses

List of versions containing features matching the eyewitness descriptions or material evidence

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

Versions testing, their confirmation or refutation. Additional information, notes during the study of materials

The description of "flying train" is usually said for satellites Starlink.

According to the website findstarlink.com for the nearest Amersfoort, Utrecht, Netherlands:
