An eyewitness noticed SpaceX's StarLink satellites, which were recently launched by Elon Musk. The satellites move in a straight line and are easily visible to the naked eye on a clear night, as is often the case in Arizona. But something is near them. A glowing object passing by the satellites was recorded. This is not the International Space Station, because it is much larger than the satellites. So what is it?

An eyewitness caught sight of the StarLink SpaceX satellites that Elon Musk launched not long ago. The satellites stream in a straight line and are easily seen with the naked eye on a clear night as Arizona often has. But somethings up near them. A glowing object was recorded passing along side the satellites. Its not the International Space Station, because it is much larger than the satellites. So what is it? I think its an alien ship that is checking out Americas latest and greatest technology. Its also likely that the UFO is tapping into communication networks through the satellites to monitor Earths current situation. StarLink was created for Internet access...well, the aliens are accessing it to learn about us.

Eyewitness states: Long line of lights appearing on the north side and disappearing on the south side of view. While walking at about 6"20am, I observed a long row flights toward the ESE of the horizon moving in a North to South direction. The lights made no sound and remained at a steady speed. The lights appeared on the north end of the line and disappeared on the south end of the line. It was diicult to estimate distance, but the line looked at least a mile long. The lights appeared lower than commercial airline travel, and were located lower than the adjacent clouds. I observed the lights for five minutes, after which the disappeared.

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.
