Last night, about 7:24pm I was stargazing and there’s a bright star above and to the left of Orion. Just as I’m wondering if it was a planet, it starts to fade out to nothing in the space of a few seconds.
So it turns out there’s loads of starlink satellites moving through that space, and I’m thinking maybe one of them flared.
Felt quite freaky at the time…

@snap2grid could have been an ordinary falling star.
Have you checked the local common?
The chances are a million to one...

Would have to have been face on, which seems unlikely. Fortunately not a green flash. :)
