Starlink caught on trail camera

Have you ever seen what I'm talking about? We've watched it right here in the back yard 4 or 5 times. It's called a satellite train for a reason. That's exactly what it looks like, a train trucking across the night sky at 17,000 mph.

...just joking, seriously.
No I have not seen that.
Maybe that's why I think it's a BUG!

We're a stubborn lot.
According to the starlink tracking app, it should be visible in north Georgia on January 7th at 6:21pm for 5 minutes from NW to SE.

I thought the train dispersed soon after launching.

No we're not!
If the sky is clear tomorrow night, you ought to try to see it. It's pretty impressive.

I watch the stars at night ALOT at deer camp on cold clear nights. No city light there... I will grab a chair and a beer and sit back looking at the sky for a while.
Seen lots of satellites and lots of phenomena I don't understand and a couple of times some pretty spooky stuff.
On a clear night you can probably see more than 1 or 2 satellites per hour.
This year I saw a small triangle of satellite type non blinking lights traveling across the entire sky. The kind of gave me the impression of three jet engines and I thought maybe I was looking at a blackbird. Super high altitude and no blinking light.
There are several apps that list the ISS random satellites in passover view... I will have to check on the star link one...
I'm probably only an hour east of Fort Benning. And I hear some thundering booms from over that way. That must be artillery practice or trains hookin up in the train yard. But I believe i'm too far away to hear train cars smashing together.

It takes some time. We saw it 3 nights in a row over Jasper County this past summer. Each subsequent night they got further apart.

I use Heavens Above and ISS Detector but ISS Dectector only shoes ISS information.
I'm have a galaxy phone so I'm not sure what's available for iphones.

I heard about that on the radio today. If my dad was the pilot, he would have yelled "shut that door! I'm not trying to heat the whole neighborhood ya know!"Coulda also been a Boeing 737 Max side door...

Yep, When I saw them this summer it kind of freaked me out, until somebody with us said oh that must be starlink and we looked it up to confirm.
