What's that in the sky? A group of moving lights flying across the sky in the Triad

Did you see something odd in the night sky on Thursday? Did it look like a group of moving lights gliding across the sky in the Triad?
It's become known as the "Starlink Train", part of the SpaceX Starlink Satellite project. There are over 4,000 of these satellites orbiting in the night sky, but most of them are invisible to our eyes.
You're not alone. Many reported seeing a series of lights flying in a train-like formation across North Carolina a little after 9:00 p.m.

Do not worry they are just a group of satellites called “Starlink Satellites.”

Yep, that would be starlink

​ I've seen a few unexplained objects over the years, but this isn't one of them, it's a group of satellites called starlink and their lights go off once in a while. They're not disappearing into a portal.

Just seen these in gettysburg PA about an hour ago. 😮😅 was completely Silent. Very close above my house, went up above again and the lights went out 1 by 1.

[@skyhighmediasolutions891]

You saw the satellite program space x is implementing the release of numerous GPS satellites to create a complete evenly spaces grid around earth to provide the world with more accurate and precise system. Yes this isn't ran by any govt. It is the product solely controlled by the independent space x program. Elon musk will soon have better GPS tech than any other nation which Musk can control privately. (He is not allowing their use for the Ukraine war) morally he will not support its use for sinister powers aka the killing of humans, he does not want blood on his hands)

[@skyhighmediasolutions891]

The reason they disappeared one by one was because they are orbiting the earth so as each one reaches the point the earth blocks their reflection from the sun. This is why most sightings happen just after dark and not late at night since the sun wouldn't be shining on them therefore unable to reflect the sun's light so they are visible to the naked eye.

[@AlwaysDazed]

Me and my brother just saw something very similar to this in PA. The lights were blueish though, it was moving quick and it was silent. They faded out of few fairly quick. They were decently bright.

[@crisyoravitz2500]

6/29/23 3:40 AM I'd seen something very similar. The lights were farther apart, as if they were following a track, streaming downward towards the ground. I watched for about 2-3 mins just to make sure I really was seeing what I had been seeing. I had something going on with my kid and had to handle that and when I came back out about 10 mins later, the white lights were gone, but then a single golden light was floating along the same path then disappeared. There was no noise and no flashing lights attached like you would see on aircraft.
