Did you see a line of mysterious lights across the North Texas sky on Thursday night?
Did you see a string of lights move across the sky over North Texas on Thursday night, more than a dozen of them in a straight line?
The startling sight around 9:44 p.m., coming from the western sky, was reminiscent of something from “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.”
But before you start molding your mashed potatoes into a mountain peak, here’s a likely explanation.
The lights were probably SpaceX Skylink satellites, which were reflecting the sun that had already dipped low below the horizon.
Starlink is a high-speed internet service using a constellation of satellites operating in a low orbit around the Earth.
So, no, it wasn’t an alien invasion. You’ll still need to go to work tomorrow.
