National UFO Reporting Center Sighting Report
Occurred : 5/4/2021 19:20 (Entered as : 05/04/21 19:20) Reported: 5/4/2021 9:49:39 PM 21:49 Posted: 5/20/2021 Location: Bend, OR Shape: Light Duration: 30 seconds
IFO - StarLink satellite train Thought I would provide an IFO report since you will likely get some reports on this. Observed StarLink train of satellites approx 1920h cross WNW to E relative to Pilot Butte at approximately 30 deg alt to horizon. The train per se spanned about 10 degrees (closed fist width at arms length). Much brighter than reference stars in Ursa Major that it passed below. An amazing sight and I can see why folks who don’t know what they are would think it was a UFO armada.
