Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire UFOs sighting, just now!

South of Helena 15-20 miles, moving along maybe northeasterly, methinks high enough to be catching some sunlight. A string of roughly 8-10 equally sized and of equal intensity and white colored lights in a row, or string moving end to end...

Tain't never seen nothing like it.

Hmmm, some them satellite launches?

Could be....

Sling some rounds at it. Be the first...😆

morning drinking is the best

Starlink satellites, curtesy of Space-X and Elon Musk. I've seen them before. They dump about 60 of them out of a rocket and over a couple of weeks they move themselves into a much higher orbit where you'll never see them. They have over 1000 of them up there now and another 1000 or so to come yet. We saw a bunch of them while in the mountains in mid December. It was clear and cold and they really shined. When they have them all in position, they'll have internet service anywhere on the globe.

Now, they aren't UFO's. They're IFO's because you know what they are.

SpaceX had a Starlink satellite launch last night. 60 Satellites at one time. They can independently maneuver into their location. When they are all clustered together the sunlight glares off them. This gets around 1,200 satellites they have launched since a little over a year ago. They need a minimum of 1,400 for full operation. This allows you to get high speed internet anywhere in the world. $500 for a 16" antenna, modem, and router, with some connecting cables. $99 a month service. You just point the antenna straight up yourself. All you need is a level. They are working on this to be mobile for RV's and Trucks, also on ships and planes around the world. Starlink is designed to service all the rural areas of the world with high speed internet. Better than any other satellite service, and almost as good as cable which is only found in the cities.

SpaceX is the largest satellite maker and launcher in the world now. This year alone they are to launch 75% of the total weight in satellites in the entire world. Look up Starlink and SpaceX on the internet.

Advanced craft don’t use lights

Totally.

Also, reflective surfaces are Earthly at best.

Com'on man.

Yes, probably last night's Starlink batch.

It's like the outernet dudes.

Is there anyone more driven than Elon Musk, like a modern day Howard Hughes, without the women drama.

Why can’t they put colored reflective surfaces on them so they won’t be racist?

Santa approved.

Another tid bit of info learned from the fire

You should change your avatar to a space alien.....

Geese are moving, along with those big assed pelicans.

At least he's trying to do something useful, unlike Gates or Bezos. Of course once it's in action, it'll likely make him a lot more money. That's business.
That said, I'll wait until it's been working for a while to see how good it is and how prices come down. Right now it's priced way too high compared to my current service.

Figured they were buddies of yours, well, because of your avatar.

I won't make fun of anyone who sees them and doesn't know what they are. They're very different from anything we've seen in the past, much different from any NASA has launched. Anyone who doesn't keep up with the latest space tech is unlikely to recognize them and not everyone reads every thread on the Fire. There are going to be many more launches and eventually most of the guys here will hear about them but that hasn't happened yet.

Yep,

I hear some are "classified cowboys" only here to sell their wares.

They will never know that Musk is assisting in the ALIEN invasion.
