Feb. 14 (UPI) -- A string of lights in the sky that prompted reports of UFO activity on social media were actually Starlink satellites, experts said.
The line of
lights spotted over the state on Sunday night sparked specula- tion on social
media that UFOs were flying over the area.
Experts said the lights were actual- ly Starlink satel- lites launched into orbit Sunday evening.
"They launch a whole train of satellites and you're actually seeing individual, little satellites, but they're all in this
row, and that's why it looks like this bright line in our sky," Renae Kerrigan, curator and science and planetarium direc- tor at the Peoria Riverfront Museum, told WEEK-TV.
Kerrigan said the lights will likely be visible again Tuesday night.
