Lights over the West of England
A neighbour (ex-USAF) has reported seeing a stream of lights, equally spaced, traversing the west of England west to east last night (Sunday 19th) from 2100 local until after 2200. He estimates seeing over 50, but there was no appreciable noise from them.
FR24 shows no activity of that kind. Any ideas?

On a NAT track 26th February this year Houston to Dubai and we were treated to a stream of these satellites at dawn. Pretty impressive and had 123.45 chattering away. This was around 30 West.....

Saw it just before descending to YMML in late February. Didn't tell anyone at the time. Only realized what it was after watching some YouTube postings about it.

wait untill they reach the proposed numbers (over 20.000 by 2024). Elon Musk is an idiot with little regard to the nature.

Rather, trying to spread Musks' ego all over the world, no matter what the risk to other satellites or degredation of our beautiful views of the night sky. there's far better ways to provide internet, this is nothing more than space just to satisfy the increasingly, let's say, eccentric Musk.
