Those are the Starlink satellites that were launched recently. You can see visibility predictions here: https://findstarlink.com/#1554;3
While it's cool to see, and the remote-area internet will be beneficial, the satellites are interfering with astronomical research due to reflections, and to my knowledge, they've only launched a few with anti-reflective coating as an experiment. Imo, they should stop the launches until they figure that out.
I saw some on Thursday night too. Kinda cool.... then all the sudden they disappeared.
It was sort of strange how they disappeared. They were coming towards the house from a distance when I noticed them. When it looked as though they were right over head (in lower orbit), I didn't see them anymore after they passed. Yea, like they disappeared vs slowly fading off into the distance. Clear skies, yea that was wired.
Yeah... really strange. I was out driving with my daughter (she gets her license in a couple weeks), and noticed them. I called my Wife and told her to go outside and look, and by the time she walked outside they faded away.
Those things get spotted out here at least once a month. All of the "UFO" posts on the local pages crack me up. Between these things and the monolith, everyone thinks Utah is being watched by aliens, LOL.
Michigan is usually boring as hell when comes to that stuff. So this was exceptionally exciting and cool. Definitely didn't know it was a thing at first lol.
Fellers, i traded in old blue- Good Lord willing, this is the last truck im going to need: Yes, i already had to put a cover down for the pup!
3.5 Eco- it runs out good!- need to get a tri- fold bed cover, but it has a line-x spray in bed protector until then...
