Loughborough camera picked up the longest “flare” I’ve detected. The video triggered twice; first for a few seconds then for a much longer period. I don’t know if this was due to cloud, or the way the thing flared. There just seemed to be an abrupt halt then restart.
I couldn’t see any hint of regular pulses along the trail, which makes me think it wasn’t a plane. The smoothness of the silvery toned trail and spear-like nature made me think more like a flare. I’ve not done any analysis on it yet. If someone detected it further away from my location, then it isn’t a plane near me.
Alex drew this post to my attention, so I’ve posted the image here.
I’ve seen Starlink trains but always as dots following each other in a line. I’m wondering if the dots that would have been visible by eye, have all merged to produce a composite trail. Direction of movement, left to right. Camera points SW.
