SpaceX Starlink?

I am at my place rural Wisconsin for a few days. Last Saturday night around 10:00 PM, I looked to the north and saw what looked like a series of 8-10 objects that look like stars evenly spaced moving from west to east across the sky at roughly 30°from horizontal. They didn’t blink or make any sound. They moved about as fast as an airplane. They were brighter than most satellites but not bright. They looked similar in color and brightness as an average visible star like those in the Big Dipper.

Tonight I saw one object following the same path at roughly 9:15 PM.

I’ve seen satellites for decades but not like this. I’m not really that interested in the topic but do you think this was SpaceX Starlink or some type of new satellite? I looked at a few SpaceX photos online of a series of lights but these were much further apart.

With all the UFO talk lately I’m not trying to get into that. I’m pretty certain this must be a new satellite and I’m just curious if anybody has saw this or has any idea what I saw.

Thanks

Thanks for sharing those links, Don, that’s amazing!

Thanks Don. That is definitely what I saw. I saw something on the Internet about determining where it is visible in your part of the world on a specific date, but it was for future dates, not where it was visible in the past.

I wanted to do the starlink thing, but couldn’t convince the wife

The sad thing is, we already have SO much stuff in space, that the first collision that occurs is going to ricochet around like billiard balls and take everything out with it!! Then there will be so many small, unretrievable pieces, that we will never be able to safely have satellites again...communications, weather, GPS, national security, will all be effected. It might seem like we're back in the "stone age"!

Aren't internet satellites usually stationary?

Stationary ones would be great targeets for the moving ones to crash into!!! lol! ---- Ya we got WAY too much junk floating around up there! No wonder the weather is screwed up down here!----just my 02!
