Initial data
About five points of light suddenly disappeared over Alkmaar.
Five luminous dots, similar to stars, quite bright, which moved at the same distance with a small space between them. These were not Starlink satellites, I had seen them before. I saw them together with my son, who saw them first.
I grabbed the phone to check if they were satellites, and... they disappeared under the clear sky.
The duration of the observation is less than 20 seconds.
Original news
Stuk of vijf lichtpunten, plots verdwenen
ALKMAAR, NH — Vijf lichtpunten, zoals sterren, vrij helder die op gelijke afstand met flink wat ruimte ertussen bewogen. Dit waren geen Starlink satellieten, die heb ik eerder gezien. Ik zag ze samen met mijn zoon die ze als eerste zag.
Ik pakte mijn telefoon om te controleren of het geen satellieten waren en...ze waren weg bij een heldere hemel.
Duur van de observatie nog geen 20 seconden.
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
These are probably Starlink satellites. According to the website heavens-above.com it could be a Starlink G7-10
