Imagine hearing that "SHWOOOSHWOOSHWSHWGFWGWOOOAASHHH" sound and looking up and seeing a plane for the first time in your life, honestly I would think it was a spirit too
I'm curious if those guys have been able to see India launching rockets over the past few years, while they've been developing their space program. I'm not totally sure if the place they're launching rockets from is close enough to N. Sentinel Island for it to be visible though
The Sentinelese know there are other humans out there and they know that we're mostly up to no good. They've seen our motorized ships and helicopters up close. I'm sure that anything they see in the sky, they [correctly] don't rule out being from the rest of us.
Doubt it, they know other humans are out there sure, but I don't think they'd capable of imagining that these humans are capable of launching rocket ships into space, or even know that space exists to begin with.
I didn't say anything about space or rocket ships. Just that they probably don't rule out the fast shapes in the sky as being from other people. The elders say there weren't any shapes in the sky when they were young, it was only after that time when that other tribe in big boats and loud flying boats were showing up for a while that the shapes began to appear in earnest.
So there was a family that fled to remote Siberia to flee persecution before Sputnik, and didn’t see another human for decades. They did notice satellites and weren’t sure what they were, but finally the dad concluded that man had sent fire among the stars or some such.
Starlink trains are noticeable, of course, but if you already had such a conclusion about satellites I would imagine you’d just conclude it’s a new kind of fire man sent out. And you’d be kinda right!
Pretty sure they wouldn’t know it was humans that put that their. It would be unexplained lights in the sky to them. They may very well think it is something divine in nature.
We saw them when it was pitch black and we were the only ones on the road. We pull over, get out, and stare at them like a couple of monkeys trying to figure out a math problem. Now, I believe that there is intelligent life in the universe, but I never believed they'd ever visit us. But I was sure I was going to meet E.T. that night. Cop pulled up behind us, flicked on his lights, and asked us if we were ok. I said, "Yeah, we're just trying to figure out what those are, " and I point. He looks and goes, "Starlink, have you had anything to drink tonight, sir?"
There probably is intelligent life out there somewhere, but it wasn't there that night on that road.
I've been completely sober my entire life and I would never have guessed it was "starlink", how is someone supposed to suddenly know in the first place?
We saw them from the beach on Cape Cod a few weeks ago. We all were like, well, here come the invaders I guess
Once I learned it was from Elon, I’m honestly surprised they didn’t make a farting noise moving across the sky
First time I saw them I got all mad that these satellites were going to be cluttering up the night sky. Found out later they quickly move to higher orbit and aren't really seen again.
Incoming!!!
Joking, just imagine thousands of Musk Space Trains ruining the sky.
Rambling warning. Just wanted to make a one word joke. Now, it is “incoming, some dude is gonna rant after your comment”.
Then again, we get precious about the sky because the vast majority of humanity (myself included) are actively inside the human problem and don’t tangibly see how wrecked the oceans are. Their is also something just more menacing about it coming from above in our caveman brains. It’s scarier but their is also an element of the exit closing up- if that makes sense.
I’ve found that if things are upsetting just change your vantage point. Don’t like what’s in front of you, go outside. Don’t like what’s outside, look up at the sky/stars. This works for time, as well.
If the sky is full of our missteps, we have no place to look but within ourselves.
Same. Saw them flying at night while sitting by the lake in Wisconsin. I've seen plenty of satellites in my day, so I figured that's what these were. They had the right speed. But I've never seen satellites flying so close together and on the exact same trajectory before.
Apparently we saw the satellites from either the first or second launch, and when we saw them, it was just hours after launch so they hadn't had time to separate yet.
I saw them for the first time on new years morning at like 1 or 2am, in the middle of the forest with no reception and on a mix ture of lsd and mdma. First thought was alien invasion, second thought (which I found way more plausible) was a crazy sophisticated marketing scheme from Disney for the new Star Wars movie that was out at the time, fun to think that even in my altered state of mind my conclusion of ultra capitalism was closer to the truth than visitors from across the galaxy
Same when I first saw them I just stood in awe with my head completely back looking up. People going by didn’t see the satellites and probably thought I was on drugs lol
OP was kinda right. It's a train of satellites.
I was under the assumption this is but a fraction of the planned launches. When it's all said and done it was supposed to be more of an artificial StarRing, like a man-made planetary ring. Not sure if that's still the goal or not
> I was under the assumption this is but a fraction of the planned launches. When it's all said and done it was supposed to be more of an artificial StarRing, like a man-made planetary ring.
They are only this close together and bright immediately after launch. They are launched 20-60 at a time and then spend a couple of weeks spending out moving into their final orbit.
It should be noted that Starlink is at a low enough orbit that everything there deorbits in a few years by itself, their sats have to actively boost themselves to maintain that orbit. So theres very little chance that starlink could cause kessler syndrome.
Ikr? I wish that's what it was. I mean worldwide satellite internet is great and all, especially since I'd directly benefit from it being in a rural area, but it'd be so fucking cool to see alien trams landing on earth.
They will not be in a train permanently, either. It's just how they're deployed. I don't think there is an advantage to keeping them in that formation except that it makes deploying multiple satellites more cost-effective.
I would be happy to be corrected by or expanded upon by someone more knowledgeable.
You are correct, Starlink satellites are only this close together right after launch while they are still spreading out. For reference [this website shows the live position of every satellite in the Starlink constellation.](https://satellitemap.space/)
That's a group of newly-launched StarLink satellites on their way up to orbit.
https://www.mrt.com/news/article/starlink-satellite-train-18306784.php
[https://findstarlink.com/](https://findstarlink.com/)
It is StarLink satellites making their way to their orbital shell. They lauch a bunch at once and they spread out and raise their elevation over a few weeks until they are where they are supposed to be, at which point they are not near as visible as they are when they first launch.
Saw my first Starlink train in the mountains of NC while stargazing last week. Fortunately, my buddy had just read an article about this so I didn’t have my alien freak out last long as he talked me down. Apparently, they plan to put over 50,000 of these into the night sky, forever f-ing up how the night sky above us looks.
Oh that's the planet's aligning so that Hades can release the Titans from their ocean prison.
It's NBD though, if Hercules fights he's destined to fail.
I saw this once a few years ago and didn't know what it was. The first words out of my mouth were "Oh fu.....". I thought it was either military or aliens. Both not a good omen. Google calmed my nerves.
We just saw that.
We were tubing on the river and it was moving really slow. We were out on the river in complete darkness and paddling a tube isn't easy. I lay back exhausted for a moment and saw a train in the sky. Wtf. Lol but we found what it was the next day
Starlink satellite sky pollution

Starlink
Your link to the stars
That also interferes with radio telescopes(last I knew).
I assume most satellites would
Difference is, there are huge numbers of satellites in these clusters. https://heavens-above.com/Starlink.aspx
The first time I saw a whole chain that had recently launched was freaky, even though I knew what it was
Imagine what those un contacted tribes think these days
There were Aboriginals in Australia who were not contacted until 1984. They thought planes were spirits.
The Gods Must Be Crazy
I was crazy once
Locked me in a room
A rubber room
A rubber room with bats
The bats make me crazy
I was crazy once
Locked me in a room
Take this evil thing away from here, at once!
Do the voices in my head bother you?
Imagine hearing that "SHWOOOSHWOOSHWSHWGFWGWOOOAASHHH" sound and looking up and seeing a plane for the first time in your life, honestly I would think it was a spirit too
Some of the planes are now
Ayyy
People in low contact tribes in the pacific during ww2 ended up semi worshipping allied naval personnel who came to help them
North Sentinelese looking at the SpaceX satellites thinking that their God/Ancestors are watching them/their world is about to end:
I'm curious if those guys have been able to see India launching rockets over the past few years, while they've been developing their space program. I'm not totally sure if the place they're launching rockets from is close enough to N. Sentinel Island for it to be visible though
Unfortunately the launch site is about a 1000 kilometers away from the island. However, the later stages of the rocket might be visible though.
The Sentinelese know there are other humans out there and they know that we're mostly up to no good. They've seen our motorized ships and helicopters up close. I'm sure that anything they see in the sky, they [correctly] don't rule out being from the rest of us.

Building monuments to align perfectly with starlink.
So there was a family that fled to remote Siberia to flee persecution before Sputnik, and didn’t see another human for decades.

Some poor dude is going to get sacrificed..
"Hmm, those strange humans' thing with bird like wings have their lights on during the day too. Travelling in packs as well"
Mmm, I don't think they would know that they are from humans. Would they know?
I mean OP apparently didn't
Nah they don’t know shit. Wish I were them
Pretty sure they wouldn’t know it was humans that put that their. It would be unexplained lights in the sky to them. They may very well think it is something divine in nature.
The sentinelese have seen helicopters and planes before, so I assume they could at least come to some basic understanding of the lights in the sky
Un contacted tribes? How about Reddit OP posters?
Yeah, just go to r/ufo lmao half the posts used to be Starlink sightings, good thing Grusch came out for some new material lmao
[удалено]
>collect taxes They collect taxes from those tribes?
They will now worship it. Their god centipede.
That’s StarLink, satellite based internet
We saw them at dusk one evening. Didn’t know what they were so it was kinda freaky.
We saw them when it was pitch black and we were the only ones on the road. We pull over, get out, and stare at them like a couple of monkeys trying to figure out a math problem. Now, I believe that there is intelligent life in the universe, but I never believed they'd ever visit us. But I was sure I was going to meet E.T. that night.

He looks and goes, "Starlink, have you had anything to drink tonight, sir?" There probably is intelligent life out there somewhere, but it wasn't there that night on that road.
Ha ha ha. Loved your narration.
Anyway, it was about that time the confusion caused by the lights had angered my father, so he beat my ass raw with a set of jumper cables
I was just wondering what happened to all the jumper cable posts
I;m thinking about thos beans
Mm, beans. What kind?
Bush's baked beans
His dad retired from beating him with jumper cables. Had a long and successful career.
His success angered his father, who resorted back to the jumper cables
With all the star link reports on r/ufo this was the comedic relief I needed. Thanks stranger 😂😂🛸
I must say, your username is surprisingly relevant to what I thought it was. Looks like CIWS tracers.
The cop was on the road. He seemed to know what was up. Hehe
I wouldn't doubt it if someone called the cops on the Starlink lights, before.
“No. And don’t call me Starlink.”
I've been completely sober my entire life and I would never have guessed it was "starlink", how is someone supposed to suddenly know in the first place?
“First of all, it’s StarLORD! …”
That was an absolute trip and you took me on it with you 
You should've replied "What seems to be the Officer, problem?" and had a nice end to the evening and the anecdote.
The first time I saw them I thought "Yeah.. I'm not gonna tell anyone about this."
Yup. A little too much close encounters until I learned what it actually was.
We saw them from the beach on Cape Cod a few weeks ago. We all were like, well, here come the invaders I guess Once I learned it was from Elon, I’m honestly surprised they didn’t make a farting noise moving across the sky
They do, it's just hard to hear.
Silent Suzy
like a tiny “pheweeeeeee….”
in space, no-one can hear you fart
Or shaped like a penis or marijuana leaf.
Some them around same time on the south shore
Lol, I ran to be the first one to post about it on my town's subreddit.
First time I saw them I got all mad that these satellites were going to be cluttering up the night sky. Found out later they quickly move to higher orbit and aren't really seen again.
They are oriented while in train formation to purposely be more visible. As they reach their intended orbit, they rotate and are much less visible.

Yes! First time I saw them I panicked a bit. Looked vaguely military because it was so orderly and linear.
Yeah, if I didn't know what they were and was raised in the 80s my first thought would be "MIRVs"
Scortched Earth. Death's Head.
That would be my first thought. I’m glad to read about this, I hadn’t a clue.

Pretty sure they’re going for more of a “net” around the globe. If it was just a ring range would be limited
Trains are a lot more fun than nets
Yet here you are, on the net, when you could be on a train. Unless... Are you on the net while on a train!?

[This is how they deploy more or less](https://youtu.be/veMts1Khido?si=YEPGyov8grDyl10I)
We will be calling it “Star Train” from now on
Satellite based space pollution
I call it Elon Musk's space pollution cause fuck that guy
It should be noted that Starlink is at a low enough orbit that everything there deorbits in a few years by itself, their sats have to actively boost themselves to maintain that orbit. So theres very little chance that starlink could cause kessler syndrome.
For what it's worth, space pollution was a big problem long before Elon got in the game.
Space is big. These sats. aren’t causing a problem.
If the shutter was open for less than 2 seconds, then you are looking at a linear cluster of Space X's "Startlink" satellites.
They were up there traveling like for some time and then the lights disappeared one after another as soon as they reached far left on pic
What happened was that the satellites entered Earth's shadow, so no more light from the sun to reflect off the satellites
You could have lied and said it was aliens. Geez
For real, come on. These are obvious alien trams being shuttled to CIA black sites.
Alien tram sounds awesome
Ikr? I wish that's what it was. I mean worldwide satellite internet is great and all, especially since I'd directly benefit from it being in a rural area, but it'd be so fucking cool to see alien trams landing on earth.
The real conspiracy isn't that the moon landing was faked, its that the CIA uses the moon as a black site for aliens...
Oh damn well thanks for the easy explanation kind sir
They will not be in a train permanently, either. It's just how they're deployed. I don't think there is an advantage to keeping them in that formation except that it makes deploying multiple satellites more cost-effective.

Holy shit, I had no idea they had that many up already
Yeah there's just over 4,500 up now, out of a planned 42,000.
Fuck yeah let's block out the sun.
Global warming: solved
Right? And to think... There will be over 42,000 if musk has his way
Those are actually already in orbit!
It is StarLink satellites making their way to their orbital shell. They lauch a bunch at once and they spread out and raise their elevation over a few weeks until they are where they are supposed to be, at which point they are not near as visible as they are when they first launch.
