Seeking Help with Satellite Observation<\/p>\n

Hello everyone, I’m back for some more insights! Yesterday, I shared videos of some unidentified objects, and a number of you suggested they were Starlink satellites, even providing helpful resources for me to investigate. After checking those sites, I found that most of the lights I recorded do indeed align with the predicted flaring in that area. Thank you for that!<\/p>\n
I compared hundreds of trajectories from my videos with the data on Metabunk\u2019s sky map, and while many lights matched, a few remain unexplained. One particular object in the video has me stumped: it doesn\u2019t follow the same arc as the other lights, nor does it match any trajectories shown on the night sky maps. It starts right at the horizon and lasts over two minutes, moving directly “up.” I considered the possibility that it might be heading straight toward me rather than to the side, but I couldn\u2019t find any corresponding trajectories on the site for that timeframe or for the rest of the evening.<\/p>\n
As I reviewed my videos with the understanding that many of them likely are satellites, I found that most support this theory, except for the aforementioned video and several instances where lights appeared on my side of thick clouds. Some even seem to change direction, although that could be a camera issue.<\/p>\n
If anyone is willing to help analyze the archives and provide insights into the specific instance I mentioned, it would greatly ease my curiosity!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
