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 for location NETHERLANDS - AMSTERDAM:

News: Starlink satellites surround the Earth
The American company SpaceX has an idea: to surround the Earth 42 000 satellites to provide broadband Internet access in any point of the globe. A project called Starlink worried astronomers. The satellites are quite bright and can interfere with the observations. Ulrich K. Banert saw this picture when I was flying a plane over the border of Canada and the United States on January 20.
News: No, it's not a UFO. Over Belarus again found satellites Starlink
Recently in edition TUT.BY there have been questions regarding the chain of lights in the night sky. Judging by the description, and SpaceX satellites Starlink.
So, in the "ASTROBEL TEAM" in the post for 19 April reads:
"Tonight, the good weather allowed us to see another flight of satellites Starlink. The whole flight lasted about 20 minutes, during which the naked eye was visible flight of the chain about 50-60 individual satellites. When performing a photo-exposure is 10 seconds, the satellites created tracks which are lined up one behind the other".
News: Residents of Kursk will see the sky train from satellites Elon musk
Thursday, April 23, residents of Kursk will be able to see an unusual sight. In the sky above the city flies the satellites of SpaceX Elon musk. They will be presented with a long string of glowing objects.
"Sky train" can be seen in the period from 21:26 to 21:28 on April 23 and at 21:23 on April 24. To see all the beauty of man-made space objects have to be outside the city, where the sky is not overexposed because of the infrastructure. However, in the current environment to get outside of Kursk is unlikely to succeed, so those who live in small towns, you can say lucky.
