Narrative

I just took this video. This thing was going very slow, it didn’t feel like starlink to me; it looked like it was not above a 10.000km altitude and I’ve seen starlink, it looks like a series of consecutive dots. This felt like a lighten up…. Cigar shaped thing. Central Italy. Sorry for the quality but that was what I had with me. submitted by /u/rgbearklls
