    Sitting out this evening at approx 945 I saw 4 bright satellites passing in southern sky right to left at approx 30 degrees. Reasonable distance between them in the sky and at slightly different elevations.

    I’ve never seen this before. Any ideas? I had already seen one brighter than usual satellite passing on a similar path about a half an hour earlier

    It was the starlink satellites,here's a pic of the sky last night at 9.45
    all of the satellites in the picture are from two different starlink trains
