Yesterday evening, residents of Milwaukee were treated to an extraordinary sight as a procession of 15 small, shiny orbs traversed the sky in a perfectly straight line. The spectacle, unfamiliar to many, ignited curiosity and intrigue among stargazers, a stark contrast to the customary celestial sights of Albuquerque.

Social media buzzed with speculation, with theories ranging from UFO spacecraft formations to potential military operations. However, the truth behind this celestial display is far less exciting. The reason is none other than one of Elon Musk’s ongoing business ventures.

These sky-based lights are none other than Musk’s Starlink satellites, a component of his SpaceX company’s ambitious initiative to provide broadband internet access across more than 60 regions worldwide. Despite orbiting Earth since 2019, these satellites have only recently become more visible, leading to increased sightings and occasional bewilderment among skywatchers across the US.

Enthusiasts can track the Starlink satellites’ progress on this website, and Milwaukee has been included in their recent trajectory. This implies that Milwaukee residents are likely to witness more sightings of these satellites in the months and years to come. So, if you missed out on observing this celestial procession, fret not – there will likely be more opportunities to do so in the future.
