| Description of Sighting | We were looking at the night sky and noticed the big dipper then all of a sudden a bright flash happened and I noticed in the spoon of the big dipper what I though was a star was moving fast and then disappeared suddenly.. then another… and another… and yet another all in the same spot within minutes of each other.. weird part is a plan was flying in the same spot flashing its red lights and then shortly after a helicopter was in the same area… been sitting here for over 15 mins now and nothing seems to be popping up. UAPSRS ASSESSMENT: Witnesses describe phenomena consistent with the appearance of Starlink satellites passing through a region of the sky where sunlight briefly illuminated them before entering Earth’s shadow. Based on witness description, UAPSRS concludes with high confidence this sighting report involved Starlink satellites. |
