Strange Line of Lights Over Wisconsin (Starlink Satellites)
Personal Observation ^ | December 22, 2019 | Ronaldus Magnus

Posted on 12/22/2019 5:04:32 PM PST by Ronaldus Magnus

A few minutes ago a strange, perfectly straight line of about 30 bright lights was visible moving across southern Wisconsin from the southwest to the northeast. They would appear just over the horizon and disappear as they came overhead. It was initially a quite shocking sight so Freepers might want to be on the lookout for them and know what they are before they first see them.

These were the 60 or so SpaceX Starlink satellites orbiting at an altitude of 174 miles. They can be tracked using websites (https://www.satflare.com/track.asp?q=starlink and http://stuffin.space). They are visible only under clear skies shortly before sunrise and after sunset. I was surprised how bright they were and how unnerving it was to see a perfectly straight line of "stars" moving slowly through the sky.

“Random nonsense”

That is your catch all reply for everything because you can’t come up with anything more intelligent or can’t think critically enough to figure it out. That reply is not having any impact anymore, you might consider something new and fresh. :)

Not nonsense at all, if you got out more you would have an enlightened sense of reality about this not so perfect species called man.

So you double down with another humorous fail, I don’t know where you got that assumption, but way off... The extremism must have clouded your extrasensory perception. That is two swings at the ball and they are both strikes...

The current millennial culture and society is the very imperfection of man I allude to. Like I said, you need to get out more and look around you, and then tell me how perfect this superior species man is...
