In many cities, towns and villages of UP, people kept looking at the sky on Monday evening without blinking their eyes. A line of bright lights that appeared for a few minutes surprised them. People made videos and shared them on social media. After this, the period of rumors started. And as can be guessed, people mistook that line of lights for UFOs i.e. Unidentified Flying Objects.

Along with Auraiya, Malihabad, Kannauj, Etawah, Hardoi and Sitapur, areas of Lucknow also saw a queue of lights, which were moving slowly. The word spread like a fire among the people that a row of bright lights was visible in the sky. People started seeing this incident by connecting it with UFOs and aliens. Videos related to this were being shared fast on social media. People called the incident strange.

However, the truth of the incident is being told something else. According to media reports, those rows of lights floating in the sky were actually satellites. It is believed that this row of bright lights was part of the Starlink satellite mission. It is claimed that the satellites which were launched earlier this week from Elon Musk’s company SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket from Florida, USA, appeared in the cities of UP on Monday evening.

According to the Find Starlink website, the Starlink-59 (G4-2) satellites passed through Sitapur in UP on Monday evening. The website claims that this sight can be seen on 15 and 16 September as well. Starlink is a satellite internet plan by Elon Musk, through which the company wants to provide internet connectivity to areas where mobile signals do not reach. This service has started in many cities of the world. Starlink wanted to start this service in India as well. He had also started booking, but the matter could not proceed further.

It may be noted that a few months ago such lights were also spotted in Punjab, even then the authorities had told about the passing of the Starlink satellite.
