Howdy,
A few hours ago, I was smoking a cigarette outside and looking up at the sky. Suddenly, I saw something that looked like this:
· ––––––
A small glowing dot (like a plane light) and a glowing trail
(from the looks of it, it wasn’t a meteor)
It moved with the speed of a plane from right to the left.
Maybe Starlink?
I could have checked my ADS-B monitoring for planes but I haven’t set that up outside :/ my antenna is also small.

A brief flash in the sky puzzled people in Switzerland on Friday evening. It’s quite possible that Elon Musk is behind it once again.
It was around 10 p.m. on Friday evening: Anyone who looked up at the sky suddenly saw a glow that disappeared shortly afterward. Online, users are speculating about what it could be. On Reddit, for example, someone posted a video of it from the Solothurn region.
A strange white light can also be seen on webcams at 10 p.m.
What looks like a UFO was most likely the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, Skyguide spokesperson Vladi Barrosa told 20 Minuten. The rocket launched into orbit from Florida on Friday evening carrying 29 satellites.
Since the weather was also ideal, the spectacle was clearly visible.
In August 2024, Starlink had already created a dazzling spectacle in the sky. At that time, a satellite burned up as it entered the atmosphere.
