More B次元官网网址渟trings of lightsB次元官网网址� have been spotted in the night skies above Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland.

A number of people reported seeing strings of lights among the stars after 10 p.m. on the evening of May 15.

Treena Miller, from Maple Bay, said she watched a string of many lights equally spaced out travelling in a line from west to east for about five minutes.

B次元官网网址淚 have never seen such a thing and it was in such a progression that I could only think that they were being pulled on a line of some sort,B次元官网网址� she said.

B次元官网网址淭here was no variation in timing or movement and they all faded into dark as they reached the same spot in the sky.B次元官网网址�

RELATED STORY:

Roger Walsh said he was stunned to also see a string of lights in the sky after 10 p.m. on May 15 while riding his bike home in the Vancouver neighbourhood of Kitsilano.

He said the lights he saw were travelling from northwest to east.

B次元官网网址淎t first I thought they were just a reflection in my glasses, and I was both shocked and curious when I realized they werenB次元官网网址檛,B次元官网网址� Walsh said.

B次元官网网址淭hey then suddenly went dark for about 10 seconds and then lit back up again. I tried to take a picture, but they went in between some trees and I lost track of them. A friend of mine saw something similar about a month ago and said it was the most bizarre thing he has ever seen.B次元官网网址�

Kyle Cheveldayoff and four of his friends also saw a string of about 50 lights travelling northwest at approximately 11 p.m. that night from the Victoria neighbourhood of Fernwood.

B次元官网网址淲e watched them travelling across the sky for about five minutes,B次元官网网址� said Cheveldayoff, a registered psychologist who also happens to be a UFO researcher.

B次元官网网址淭hey were as plain as day. We did get our GoPro out, but I think it was too dark out [to get a video of the lights].B次元官网网址�

A similar series of sightings of strings of lights in the sky above Vancouver Island occurred in March, 2020.

RELATED STORY:

While it was never definitively proven, many speculated that those sightings could have been some of SpaceXB次元官网网址檚 Starlink satellites that began launching at about the same time.

In May 2019, the American aerospace manufacturer SpaceX launched the first 60 of its Starlink satellites, which are hoped to eventually provide affordable internet access to people around the world, into orbit.

It has been reported that last Saturday (May 15) at about 7 p.m. EST, which is 10 p.m. in B.C., a SpaceX rocket launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida and released 52 new Starlink satellites into EarthB次元官网网址檚 orbit, bringing the total number of Starlink satellites in orbit to more than 1,600.

This was the fourth launch of Starlink satellites in 17 days, and the ninth launch of the satellites since the beginning of March.

Cheveldayoff said that the Starlink satellites may be the answer to the riddle of the strings of lights in the night sky that he and his friends saw.

But he said there were a lot of other unusual things going on in the sky that night as well.

B次元官网网址淲e also saw a number of what appeared to be satellites that would flash like the flashbulbs on a camera,B次元官网网址� Cheveldayoff said.

B次元官网网址楾he night of a satellite launch could have provided an opportunity for phenomena that would be unknown to us to take place.B次元官网网址�
