Initial data
An eyewitness from the town of Vlissingen reports:
Walking the dog, I always look at the stars, and I regularly see the ISS or satellites passing by, but it has never been so.
17 objects have consistently flown along a certain line.
He was quiet and looked like Morse code (.. .....)) and some flew closer together, and the last two were like two fused balls.
Unfortunately, I didn't bring a camera with me.
According to ufomeldpunt.nl, these are Starlink satellites
Original news
VLISSINGEN, ZL — Tijdens het uitlaten van mijn hond kijk ikaltijd richting de sterren en zo zie ik regelmatig de iss of satellieten voorbij komen maar op deze manier nooit.
Er vlogen 17 objecten in een bepaalde lijn achter elkaar aan.
Het was geruisloos en het leek wel op een morse code.
Zo van . .. .. .. .. . .. en sommige vlogen wat dichter tegen elkaar aan dan de andere en de laatste twee leken wel 2 samengesmolten ballen .
Ik had helaas geen camera bij .
Starlink satellieten
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.
