A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE SEEING WHAT THEY DESCRIBE AS UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS IN THE SKIES AGAIN LAST NIGHT. WHAT THEY ARE ACTUALLY SEEING IS STARLINK SATELLITES. THE SERIES OF SATELLITES WERE LAUNCHED INTO SPACE BY ELON MUSK, WELL HIS SPACE X CORPORATION TO PROVIDE BETTER SATELLITE INTERNET ACCESS TO OVER 40 COUNTRIES. IT ALSO AIMS FOR GLOBAL MOBILE PHONE SERVICE AFTER 2023, AND THEIR LATEST ENDEAVOR IS TO PROVIDE WIFI TO SCHOOL BUSS IN THE UNITED STATES. THE PURPOSE IS TO HELP BRIDGE THE COUNTRY’S DIGITAL DIVIDE, OR PROVIDE INTERNET ACCESS TO THE MILLIONS OF AMERICANS, INCLUDING CHILDREN WHO DON’T HAVE INTERNET ACCESS AT HOME. SPACE X STARTED LAUNCHING THE SATELLITES IN 2019.
THE LINE UP OF STAR LINK SATELLITES CAN BE SEEN IN THIS AREA AGAIN TONIGHT. IF THE SKY IS CLEAR, LOOK TO THE NORTHWEST AT 8:14 TONIGHT. THE SATELLITES WILL MOVE FROM THE NORTHWEST TO THE SOUTH. BE ON TIME, BECAUSE THEY WILL ONLY BE VISIBLE FOR LESS THAN FIVE MINUTES AND VISIBILITY MAY NOT BE TO GOOD.
