Lights out over the South East anyone ?
After doing a few very late flights I noticed some lights and thought they were other aircraft. Flying South they appear to be over the Tasman Sea. Light intensity varies from bright until they disappear and then reappear some time later. They appear to be turning and I have counted up to 4 at time.
When I asked other pilots they too had seen them on numerous occassions. Apparently this is not new. Does anyone have any idea what these are ? |
UFO’s in a racetrack pattern with varying light intensity? Appearing to fade in and out? They are (usually) starlink satellite flares.

Ask Freddie Valentich, he had experience with lights over Bass Strait

They are inclined orbits so they will appear to change direction as they reach their southern-most latitude which is 53S for most of them.

We've been seeing them over the Atlantic and Pacific, usually in a racetrack which makes sense for it to be Elon.
What's been throwing us are the groups (4+) that either converge or diverge, both in the horizontal and vertical, usually very close together. |

Yeah I’ve seen them. I couldn’t logically explain them. Not the starlink train. Changing track right to left and on different occasions left to right. Different intensities. Spotted westbound over the Tasman on Auckland Melbourne and Auckland Sydney tracks.

Please just listen to the much more knowledgeable people: they’re Starlink satellites crossing near the horizon with sunlight hitting them at maximum reflection, hence the fade in and fade out.
Its not aliens or secret squirrel military stuff. |
Even the most educated and professional people just want to believe.... it's all a conspiracy bwahahahaha :}
Anyways, it's on YouTube so it must be true! |

I’ve seen them over the Southern Ocean near midnight local time. How would the knowledgeable people explain the timing of that?

Genuinely can’t remember. The links to other threads on this subject provide some plausible explanations re starlink. Still not convinced however.

Thats curious . So its not just SE Aus. That is exactly what these lights do . It takes away the symmetry. Its hard to imagine satellites manoeuvring in this way. The changing light intensity between the lights is also a variable.
They are not manoeuvring. They are in an inclined orbit which takes them to 53 lat and then away again. It might look like they are manoeuvring but they are not. They are in an inclined orbit which takes them to 53 degrees latitude. Different intensities can be explained by the solar reflection off their solar panels.

As I said earlier:

So…you’re saying they are on an inclined orbit?
|
So everything is ok with these lights? .Has any official body ever given these events an official verdict ! Official bodies been contacted and asked for an explanation ?
Or is this just pprune speculative space scientists explaining these lights. |
