At least four flights reported 'multiple lights sometimes in a triangle formation' high above the Canadian Prairies one morning earlier this month, according to air traffic control audio obtained by CTVNews.ca.
This is from one of our major news outlets in Canada.
There could always be cloud coverage to obscure the view from the ground. Not to mention it’s a matter of timing and looking in the right direction to catch something like this.
Starlink definitely makes these sightings difficult to assess. There have been enough in orbit that pilots should be accustomed to seeing them. But, that’s not to say plenty have yet to experience them.
The same conditions that cause Starlink to flare could apply to other objects in the same space. Hopefully pilots start documenting more specifics of where and when to rule out satellites.
I’m excited to see more pilots reporting their sightings. Hopefully they also report to groups like Americans for Safe Aerospace and NUFORC. There’s clearly growing interest in the topic of UAP and there seems to be less stigma in discussing it.
