An eyewitness with the nickname jlm20566 writes:
This video was shot on 05/04/2023 at 19:56 in my backyard in Chandler, Arizona. after SO shouted to go outside and look at the sky.
Unfortunately it happened so fast and the video is out of focus at times because the porch light was on behind me and my phone was struggling to focus on the subject, but it's 100% unfiltered and authentic.
I still don't know what I filmed, so if anyone has any thoughts, I'd like to hear it. When he flew over us, there was no sound.
Original news
Captured this video on 5/4/2023 @ 7:56 pm in my back yard in Chandler, AZ. after SO yelled to come outside and look to the sky.
Unfortunately, it happened so fast and the video is at times, unfocused, bc the porch light was illuminated behind me and my phone struggled to focus on the object, but it’s 100% unfiltered and authentic.
Still don’t know what it was I captured, so if anyone has any thoughts, I’d love to hear it. There was no audible sound as it flew over us.
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.

Investigation
Since the band of light consists of many dots, it is very similar to Starlink satellites.
According to the website heavens-above.com at this time, it was possible to observe, for example, satellites from the relatively recent (May 4, 2023) launch of Starlink G5-10:
Date | Satellite | Brightness | Beginning | Maximum height | The end | ||||||
(zv. vel.) | Time | Height | Azimuth | Time | Height | Azimuth | Time | Height | Azimuth | ||
may 04 | STARLINK-6107 | ? | 19:49:08 | 10° | NW | 19:51:4420° | SSV | 19:54:25 | 10° | VSV | |
may 04 | STARLINK-6126 | ? | 19:51:20 | 10° | NW | 19:54:0120° | SSV | 19:56:46 | 10° | VSV | |

But also the satellites Starlink G2-7, Starlink G2-4, Starlink G5-1, Starlink G4-37, Starlink G4-31, Starlink G4-26, Starlink G4-21, Starlink G4-19, Starlink G4-14, Starlink G4-10, Starlink G4-9 and a lot from even later launches.
