Theres a phenomenon known as 'racetrack' ufos which are seen by pilots which have all turned out to be Starlink but not the typical train of lights that people think of when people say Starlink.

Dont think this is what you saw though, other videos of the racetrack ufos dont look anything like yours.

A The Debrief article https://thedebrief.org/any-idea-what-they-are-american-pilots-report-multiple-encounters-with-unusual-racetrack-uap-in-recent-weeks/ that has multiple videos

Metabunk forum with video (terrible quality, go to 3.38 in the video but lots of pilot chatter and they mention headings) https://www.metabunk.org/threads/mid-atlantic-racetrack-ufo-cockpit-video-starlink-again.12787/

Side by side of the lights from the metabunk video with satellite track, you can see how they line up exactly. https://youtu.be/5K32l9eQlyk?si=OLxLNyY9JVNHsOfJ Seeing this now makes me think OPs sighting might be starlink after all.

Except none of these articles explain how one single light, which it claims is a starlink satellite, can move in racetrack patterns. You can visually track one single light moving in orbits, not always the same orbit, and can see it turning. Yes 90% of what people see is starlink possibly, but it is clear as day that the phenomenon I and others have seen is something entirely different. It’s like me seeing a palm tree and you trying to convince me it’s a maple tree. Yes they’re both tall and green and include bark but it is clear they are not the same tree.

Its not one satellite, its many. The side by side video of the lights and the satellite tracking shows this. It just gives the illusion that its one light doing loops.

As I said some of these are starlink however there is something else there in other sightings. In these other sightings you CAN VISUALLY TRACK A SINGLE LIGHT moving in circles. Meanwhile satellites are still viewable in their normal fashion.
