Long straight flying object (reddthat.com)

Hi everyone I was walking home in Melbourne, Australia tonight, minding my own business when I went to look up at the stars. Instead I saw something horrifying.

It was like a very long rigidly straight line of lights, flying overhead at a decent speed. For context it was not very far away, no where like the height of a plane. More like looking up at the top of the tallest skyscraper in an average city. This thing was very long, like a train, and was way way bigger than a plane. The line of lights were so close I could see the individual outlines, and were like the straight lines windows of a plane but directly underneath and far too many.

It moved fast and completely silently. It was scary.

I'm wondering if anyone knows anything about these types of UAPs, I've never heard of something like this.

And I'm sorry, I did take a photo which I thought looked clear and focused at the time but when I checked it later it is a mix of strange blurry lights taking up the whole screen. Not sure what happened there.

What do you guys think? I'm honestly a bit freaked out even talking about it.

It was likely a Starlink train of satellites.

The description sounds just like these look. So I'm leaning towards that too. Recently my wife and I were staying in Yellowstone and ended up at one of their tippy top of the mountain places. It's super remote, no cell signal or anything. But, lo' and behold, WiFi shows they had a network with "starlink" in the name. I thought that was really cool as I'd never actually seen a starlink connected network yet. So, mentioned that to her and she had never actually heard of them. I'm a professional nerd, she's super techy as well, and if she hadn't even heard of it I'm not surprised we see people who spot the trains of satellites in the sky and get spooked. It's so weird looking to have a bunch of lights all in a line just traversing across the sky.

Anyway, nobody I know would have cared that I was surprised she hadn't heard about them, so given the relevance, you all get to know now.

That was my first thought too. I've seen them a few times, and it looks very similar to what op described.

Having seen starlink satellites before, I'm pretty sure that's what you saw.

Asteroids burning in atmosphere?

Interesting!

How many lights and what do you mean you could see the outline? Outline of the lights or something else?
