First we filled the earth's oceans with plastic rubbish, now we're going to fill the earth's orbits with satellite debris.
Why do humans want to destroy the planet that gave them life?
Bügger it, I'll be voting Green next

The International Astronomical Union expressed concern about these satellite constellations back in June 2019:

Stargazers will be watching the skies to see if a compromise can be found.

If I hadn't seen them, I'd have not believed it.
Satellites . . . one hopes. West to East. <52N Straight line. Last one offset to the North. Dozens of them. Arms wide, about 20. 04.35 - 40ish. Mar 23 2021
What are they doing?

They're the control units that make the 5G connection to all the microchips you've had injected into your body. You'll soon be controlled completely by ...well I'm a little unsure of that point

Thanks. I described them as a string of diamonds. So perfectly straight, given there's so much that can perturb early orbits. 60 sounds right. I must have gone out near the beginning. I dashed in for the phone, but not enough light for that tiny lens.
Clearly, cleaning local space is going to be big business in the future.

The BBC are predicting clear skies for me at 4:20 am and my Bedroom window faces WSW so it couldn't be much easier.... I just need to set an alarm and then remember what it was for in time to go to the window.

That invasion failed due to germ warfare so if they do land, the same thing will probably happen again due to Covid 19.
