Reply to comment by OnlyAstronomyFans in Spotted strange cluster of objects traveling across the sky this evening by hawkz40

No it is not. I’ve seen 9 Starlink passes. The fastest I’ve seen a line pass-over is one that came over a few hours after launch. It took 3 minutes to do its pass. Always a straight line. This was an arrow-shaped formation with the point of the arrow leading the others, with one directly behind it. It traversed the entire sky in 15 seconds…over 15x faster than the fastest Starlink passover.

They’ve been trying out different train configurations. Believe me it’s star link or some other low earth orbit communications satellite. We didn’t find aliens or anything.

you don't know we didn't. Perhaps they didn't think we'd spot them in arrow formation :P

I added a sample image of what I saw to the opening post...
