In the day of UFO sightings becoming a regular thing, people are naturally curious and drawn to explainable lights and flying objects in the sky. As now even reported by local news stations as staff at KEZI counted counted 20 lights over a 10 minute period coming from the southwest and heading towards the northeast.

People all across the Eugene-Springfield metro area reported seeing a string of lights fly across the sky, which were visible between 9 p.m. and 10 p.m. News to myself, the lights are said to be a part of the new Starlink network from Space X. The Starlink network is a project by SpaceX to provide internet to rural parts of the world. The satellites are visible when they align perfectly with the sun. Apparently tonight the lights will be visible again around 9:30 p.m.
