Honestly that was the best viewing I’ve seen. Swear you could see there was length to it vs. just looking like a moving star.

If they would have flushed the toilet it would have landed in my front yard. Flew right over me.

Mrs M and I just finished watching it out front of our home. Lots of street lights and cars on the highway didn’t diminish it at all. Moving fast and very bright. About 5-6 minutes worth. Thrilling.

Godspeed.

Thanks for this thread. ISS looked great from St. Martin Parish. Somebody please make this same thread when Starlink passes nearby. I'd love to see the satellites training overhead.

I’ve seen starlink twice and both times I didn’t know they were passing by and wasn’t expecting to see it. It’s quite the sight

I bet it is. I have yet to get a clear view of the space wagon train.
