LGM or unusual Satellites? - John (10th Nov 2023 22:50:15)
Tonight at approx 6.30 whilst looking up i saw what appeared to be a satellite or the International space station. Very high in rhe westerly night sky travelling in a north south direction roughly the same direction as the railway line.
Within 30 seconds it was then followed by another satellite, and then another and then another etc. Probably 10 in total all following exactly the same flight track.
To be clear definitely not the appearance of any usual aircraft etc
Does anyone have proper idea of what i was observing. Cannot see Starlink putting satellites so close to together and i wouldnt have expected them to be so visible. Very high altitude, way beyond a commercial airliner
In the meantime i shall not sleep for fear being kidnapped.

I'm pretty sure you are safe from abduction! The little green men have other people in mind !
I suspect you saw a string of Starlink satellites which were launched on the 8th.
