I was out Friday night, trying to catch a glimpse of the elusive Aurora Borrealis, when I noticed what appeared to be a very thin flat object, moving west to east in the lower northern sky, illuminated from the lights of Buffalo. At first I thought it might be a blimp, but using my handy monocular, that I had just gone back into the house to retrieve, noticed it was a string of lights. Second thought was someone was pulling a lighted banner behind a plane, similar to what I would see during the daytime along the beaches of VA and NC in my youth. Then I realized it was a Starlink Train! And it was gone, a fleeting glimpse in the night sky. This particular group had been put int orbit by the Falcon earlier in the day from Cape Canaveral. Ultimate goal is 12,000 Starlink satellites in orbit!
