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
According to the website findstarlink.com:Timings with good visibility(past) 9:43 pm, 20 Aug 2022Starlink-55 (G4-27) (new), BRIGHT (2.1) for 4 mins
Look from WEST to SOUTHEAST (details)
