Initial data
Various objects moving at the speed of a helicopter, alternately illuminated with blue/white light, were seen in Heerlen.
An eyewitness writes:
The color changed from blue to bright white, lit up and went out again (the effect is like a decorative firework), constant speed, after magnification it seems about 15 objects.
According to ufomeldpunt.nl the most likely explanation is Starlink satellites

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.
