Many folks around Western North Carolina reported seeing bright lights in the sky, streaming together almost like a comet on Friday night. The National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg, South Carolina confirmed those bright lights, seen by many in the Upstate on Friday, are in fact from the SpaceX Starlink Satellite launch. Starlink is an internet system comprised of a constellation of multiple satellites that orbit the planet much closer to Earth, at about 550km, and cover the entire globe.
SpaceX has a website that has been setup to determine the visibility of the satellites in areas around the world. (Starlink Site)
