Glasgow<\/a> residents have taken to social media to share clips of a mysterious line of lights in the night sky.<\/p>\n

Observers noticed the bright objects<\/a> over the city on Saturday evening (August 22).<\/p>\n

In a clip shared with Glasgow Live, dozens of star-like orbs can be seen stretching across the night sky.<\/p>\n

While some joked that the lights could be ‘UFOs’, it is understood that they are part of Elon Musk’s<\/a> “train” of SpaceX Starlink internet satellites.<\/p>\n

Usually identified by their pattern as a tight row of glowing dots, they appear in the night sky up to five days after being launched as they move into their proper orbit of the planet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Observers noticed the bright objects over the city on Saturday evening (August 22)UFOs’ spotted over Glasgow Glasgow residents…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":747984,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[59,679,2141,90,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-747983","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-science","tag-gb","tag-glasgow","tag-in-the-news","tag-science","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/747983","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=747983"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/747983\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/747984"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=747983"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=747983"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=747983"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
