Did you see these lights over the Coast last night?
BILOXI, Miss. (WLOX) - Friday night, photos and videos flooded in of what appeared to be a long string of lights quickly moving across the sky; some took to social media claiming they just saw a UFO, while others were simply baffled.
We first got reports about the lights in October 2022. We decided to look into it.

Turns out the string of lights many saw was a group of Starlink satellites. Starlink is a huge constellation of satellites orbiting close to earth that provide broadband internet to over 40 countries. You can track satellite movements on a real-time map and see best viewing times on their Find Starlink site.

In conclusion, no aliens this time.
