String Of Starlink Satellites Spotted Across Southern California Overnight Syndicated Local – CBS Los Angeles
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) It wasn’t the aliens – that string of lights that were visible over Southern California were a string of SpaceX’s Starlink satellites.
The unsettling sight was spotted at about 10 p.m. Wednesday night and were visible to eagle-eyed sky watchers throughout Southern California. The lights were the 60 Starlink satellites that were launched into space on Tuesday.

After months of attempts, including a successful landing and later rapid unscheduled disassembly (also known as an explosion), SpaceX has done the impossible by launching and landing their Starship prototype, at their “Starbase” located in Boca Chica, Texas, on the border with Mexico.
It was a great day for the flight as today was the 60 year anniversary of Alan Shepard’s history-making flight to become the first American in space.
SpaceX has been in the landing-rockets business for several years now, becoming almost routine with their Falcon rockets, which have been used to launch satellites, and was responsible for restoring American capability to deliver astronauts to the International Space Station. In the last week, Falcon’s Dragon 2 Crew Capsule returned four Astronauts from the ISS, and SpaceX has launched two additional Falcon rockets and successfully landed them both from Florida. Those two Falcons were carrying Starlink Satellites,
This is something that will never end: people are still confusing the new Starlink Satellites as alien UFO ships. Last night a line of satellites flew over Twin Falls and social media sites blew up with questions and comments about the sightings. Even people who know about the Starlink company and the SpaceX ventures still question some of the sightings. If you haven t seen a train of Starlink Satellites run across the sky it is definitely a weird sight. If you have seen them then you know why some people are still skeptical.
