An unidentified flying object, a UFO: more and more people think they see them when they look up. This is often not because extraterrestrial life is indeed coming to Earth, but because more and more Starlink satellites are floating in orbit around the Earth that reflect light.
More and more reports are being made of so-called ‘unexplained anomalous phenomena’, so they are not necessarily flying saucers, but things in the firmament that we cannot identify. People think they are unknown objects in the sky, but secretly they are the satellites of SpaceX’ Starlink. Although, according to the American government, there are still unexplained things that people report, it often appears to involve satellites placed by Elon Musk’s company.
Starlink Satellites
This is relatively easy to determine, because these celestial bodies often appear in a kind of polonaise: they move in a train and that stands out in the further black space. They are clearly visible, especially if another Starlink launch has just taken place. You don’t even need a telescope for that, because you can see them with the naked eye. They were recently reported from Friesland.
Worldwide there is more and more interest in what can be seen in the sky. NASA has even set up an advisory board to look into the unexplained anomalous phenomena. Last year it reported that there is no convincing evidence that these phenomena contain extraterrestrial life. In the United States, the government is also increasingly interfering and this week it was decided to continue studying these phenomena.
White lights in the sky
Many citizens would like to see the Pentagon be more open about what is being found. Since 2021, it has been mandatory for Defense in the United States to submit an annual report on these unexplained anomalous phenomena. The 2024 report was published this week. There have been 757 reports of unexplained events in the air in the past 13 months, half of which still have no explanation. The rest often turns out to be a drone, satellite or aircraft. “We are receiving significantly more reports from Starlink satellites, including from a commercial pilot who saw white, flickering lights in the sky. This is likely due to a Starlink satellite launch from Cape Canaveral, Florida.”
If you look up and see something strange, it’s not unlikely it’s a Starlink satellite: there are more than 6,600 of them in the sky. That number will increase: not only because of Starlink, but also with Amazon’s Project Kuiper and Chinese satellite companies that are expanding their networks.
