When a Reddit post takes you to the Drudge Report and Drudge takes you to Sputnik News, you know you’re on solid ground.

“A peculiar sight was recently spotted and filmed in the sky above at least two major population centers in the United States, leading some social media users to wonder whether they witnessed a whole swarm of UFOs cruising through the night,” Sputnik mused.

The explanation is far simpler, as usual: The lights were satellites that are part of SpaceX, which provides broadband internet service, and were catching reflections visible here on the ground.

Or, of course, they were UFOs and aliens, like coyotes and other wild animals, are coming out in droves to explore earth and marvel at all the humans sequestered inside their homes during the pandemic.

  3. Spacecraft created outside the Solar System? That must be some good party stuff being used. Parrrtyyy 👍

  6. Space X Satellites travel in a straight line, not in a gaggle, they appear one by one every ten seconds or so off the horizon. These aren’t Space X.
