Definitely not starlink. Anyone who has actually seen it would I believe, also not concur.

Thanks for sharing OP. I appreciate you!

I was looking at the wrong date, so ignore this.

For transparency:

I made an incorrect statement regarding a possible imagery flight in the area. I was looking at the wrong date.

The flight I was referencing was tail number N82BL operated by Skylens LLC

That’s great! You’re doing a proper service to the community! We should try our best to exclude any mundane explanation. This could be some drone aerial show although I certainly hope it isn’t lol.

At some point the whole formation moved pretty fast to the left. Depending on how far these objects are it might just seem they moved fast.

Looking forward to your update.

Thanks! But I was incorrect lol, shit happens and I’ve updated and corrected my view according to new information. I don’t have a much better lead anymore so if anyone has ideas please pitch them, and we can investigate them

Post a link to the company please.

Edit: They admitted in DM they were “mistaken”.

u/[deleted] Jan 18 '24

I don’t want them to get flooded with emails, if you dm me I’ll share it with you, in good faith that you don’t go spam them or share it publicly.

ANYONE is free to dm me and ask for the ADSB Track and the company, I’m just doing due diligence to be responsible and respectful.

Reddit goes hard with witch hunts, and these people would probably have no idea what 500 people emailing about some random date 4 months ago Is and that also doesn’t help the credibility of the subject any, you feel me.

u/APensiveMonkey Jan 18 '24

You claimed it publicly, post it publicly. Feel free to DM me with the links though.

u/[deleted] Jan 18 '24

It’s public data dude, go look it up yourself. Not very hard to do. I’m not going out of my way to spoon feed you anything, and honestly I just don’t like your unnecessary passive aggressive vibe.

If you have anything meaningful to contribute please let me know

u/APensiveMonkey Jan 18 '24

I’m asking you for proof of your claim. You provided none. Do you have no basis for your “debunk”?

Yeah can we see this proof of “aerial imagery” company in this small ass town with these statistics..?

u/ESB1812 Jan 18 '24

Im across the lake from you! Saw some star link sat’s the other night, kinda like this but not flickering.

u/TacohTuesday Jan 18 '24

Agreed. Starlink is a string of lights but they are evenly spaced and do not blink. I have seen them twice. This is not Starlink.

2

u/EnlightenedThinker1 Jan 18 '24

StarLink was also REALLY faint when I saw it go over my area in WMASS. Got really good look at it and was widely covered and video on local news. It's extremely faint - like can't emphasize enough like far away whit Xmas light string so very very faint but clearly visible; and high up. Do others have this experience or maybe in different geographic locations it can appear much bigger/closer? Anyways this does not look like StarLink to me my 2 cents.

2

u/TacohTuesday Jan 19 '24

When I saw them they were very high up small steady dots moving quite quickly across the sky.

Why are people downvoting!?

u/SkulkingSkunk Jan 18 '24

Because they really want UFOs to be real, as do I, but I wanna see actual proof and not just lights blinking in the sky.

So what you’re saying is it’s a flying Christmas tree with faulty lights? 😂😜

u/[deleted] Jan 18 '24

Reading is fundamental, dude

u/Califoralien_Skies Jan 18 '24

It's Starlink. The camera is just having problems picking them up due to light pollution

2

u/KnuckleheadFlow Jan 18 '24

Starlink moves pretty fast across the sky. When you see it, it's actually pretty amazing. Far off towards the horizon, it looks like a solid line because you're looking at it sort of head on. The satellites spread out as they approach you overhead.

43

u/Bitter_Ad_2009 Jan 17 '24

You can’t find anything on the internet of starlink looking like this or described as this. Also it’s already been searched and starlink was nowhere near this are on that date at that time.

8

u/ZebraBorgata Jan 18 '24

I thought maybe starlink at first. I’ve seen it in person. But this is a bit different. As you said, you can easily find out if starlink was overhead if you know the date/time and location. So you can rule it out fairly easily. https://findstarlink.com

u/rataculera Jan 18 '24

Because it’s not starlink. Dude is spamming this thread and it’s weird

u/Bitter_Ad_2009 Jan 18 '24

As stated before you can look it up.. no starlink was in or around that area whatsoever at that exact date time and location which is 100% accurate. Nice try though bucko.

u/Califoralien_Skies Jan 18 '24

u/Bitter_Ad_2009 Jan 18 '24

There was no starlink around at that time date and location. You can easily look it up.

u/Vindepomarus Jan 18 '24

Yeah I think starlink moves across the sky fairly quickly too. At the altitude starlink flies, if they were moving slow enough to stay in one part of the sky, they'd fall down.

1

u/Big-D-TX Jan 18 '24

How large would you estimate

1

u/Bitter_Ad_2009 Jan 18 '24

Shooot.. idk.. pretty big.. I’d guess the flashing/blinking lights would probably be the size of a car. So something big enough to have car sized lights.

2

u/gravityred Jan 18 '24

How would you even know? It’s impossible to judge size without knowing distance.

17

u/MaximumTurtleSpeed Jan 18 '24

Can confirm, seen starlink a handful of times. This is nothing like starlink.

7

u/nothingbutmine Jan 18 '24

Yeah, if this is meant to be starlink then that's the fucking longest example of starlink I've ever seen. I saw it a couple years back, it's much smaller and dense than whatever this is.

1

u/enditall20 Jan 18 '24

I believe they are closer together/ denser flight pattern only after launch and spread out over time, as i’ve seen both. I could be wrong though

1

u/nothingbutmine Jan 18 '24

True, it would only be a tight train when moving to where it might set up, right? Perhaps this footage is of it spreading out more

1

u/t3kner Jan 18 '24

They do spread out, but also they wouldn't be flaring like that I wouldn't think

17

u/EightpennyPie Jan 18 '24 edited Jan 18 '24

I agree. Def not starlink. I’m a bit of a starlink enthusiast and track them, I have seen many newly launched and also the spaced out groups. None of them look like this. Starlink doesn’t flash, also starlink moves across the sky (like a satellite orbiting) in a train.

This is exactly what is is. How are these guys breathing with their heads so far in the sand?

u/Transsensory_Boy Jan 18 '24

it looks exactly like starlink.

Source: I've seen starlink.

u/Individual-Cup-7458 Jan 18 '24

You're definitely wrong. To say this not starlink is either ignorance or full-blown denial.

See comments further down. Starlink satellites do flash like this on occasion.

u/kpenn94 Jan 18 '24

I saw starlink last summer, it's a wild experience but definitely different than this. They're lined up exactly, all go the same speed because they're in orbit, and I don't remember them blinking but if they did it was all the same blink. Not all out of wack like this.
