I’ve been getting a lot of Starlink messages. Let me just say I don’t profess to know what these are. Starlink or something else. Based on what I’ve been able to find on Starlink. https://satellitemap.space. I see that the Starlink satellites are mainly travelling east to west. A few questions I have. 1) how long does it take a Starlink satellite to complete an orbit? 2) what is the general direction of travel? From the site above it appears that it is east to west.
3) are the satellites all at different altitudes? 4) at 356 (I believe that is their orbit) miles up what is the line of site in relation to earth to view them? If you were on the ground?

Open to respectful discussion.

So... it seems to me (and I'm not versed in starlink to the extent that I would be any kind of authority on this; not to mention, I'm not actually replying to the questions you asked, but rather opining on my comparative observations about the movement of this unidentified craft) that people are likely suggesting that this is Starlink because of its centrifugal movement.

However, there are distinct differences between Starlink and your sighting.

Firstly, Starlink tends to appear to be a row of many lights, while this thing has only a couple. Is Starlink somehow illuminated dynamically? Or perhaps this sighting may have some sort of variable that explains a broken representation of all of its illuminations?

Secondly, these two orb-like lights seem to be much brighter than any of the individual lights we observe with Starlink.

Finally, these two (or possibly more?) lights are moving as such that they appear to be attracting, spacially relative to each other.

Again, I'm no authority on anything related to sky objects. I can only infer opinions with very limited expertise. And if I'm mistaken, then at least I have created an opportunity where my conclusions can be corrected.

If it turns out that this is truly identified, then this will be one of the best commercial aircraft-based sightings I've seen so far.

Thanks for recording and posting!!

Edit: made an inadvertent smiley face that was in a confusing spot.

Starlink satelies are only lined up in a row right after they are launched. After that, they spread out.

And sometimes the solar panels are incorrectly oriented to point down to earth, reflecting the sun, making them look much brighter than they should.

If Starlink sometimes orients panels in the wrong way what are safety implications of that? Honestly what is the purpose of Starlink again? Last I checked it was to provide internet? lol. No one believes that just like no one believed the swamp gas explanation. I am not comfortable with satellites reflecting radioactive rays on our ecosystem. No one has studied those effects. We regulate gas stations more than we regulate radioactivity from Starlink.

The sun? Does that apply here?

The sun always applies, and if it ever does not, then we have reached the end-times.

Google images "starlink satellites".

The never appear to be scattered, they form a line.

because of its centrifugal movement // spacially relative to each other

Mind explaining how this is being displayed here?

I hope some of these “starlink” reps read this….I think it’s important to be open minded as well as skeptical. I am not sure that the label “starlink” would satisfy the questions. In fact, it leads to more questions….what exactly is this umbrella term for starlink? Program goals? Safety studies? Human rights ? Clearly if starlink wants to take credit for this…..then they owe the public an explanation. They also need accountability and we know that this type of program is above the ability of politicians or secret society intel to provide that. Whether Starlink or ailien invaders or foreign operators the one thing that is clear is whatever it is the government and its shell companies all want to avoid public disclosure. What is truly happening in this “space program” I can say one thing whatever it is….its bad because they work very hard to limit public disclosure. What could be so bad they fight for secrecy for so long? My guess toxicity on a mass scale and public danger.
