That is true, but the investigations that we have done on Metabunk show more than just a coincidence. The movement of the lights in the videos from aircraft (and the ground) match EXACTLYwith the calculated movement and track of the Starlink satellites as calculated in the Stellarium astronomy software. We can even identify precisely which Satellite is flaring and recreate all the movement see in the video. The correlation is probably best shown in this video from Palmdale California, but there are others. To do this requires accurate time and location data and that is usually available from the video metadata, or it can be determined using ADSB track logs.
