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.
Sounds like Starlink satelites. You’d think there would be ground reports too.

There’s a very small part of my brain that thinks Musk is an alien and these satellites are camouflage. :)
That would explain a lot of things. And if his behavior is typical for his kind, then I’d understand the government concealing them from us.
except some of the pilots note the objects ‘move side to side’ and starlink will form a consistent linear pattern maintaining the same distance.
