How to see deployed Starlink "Racetrack" flares

[flarkey]

Another sighting on Reddit, this time in New Mexico. Unfortunately no date or time information with these, but it shows that people are still seeing them and still being confused.

Since we get a few timelapses, I've added a "Simulation Speed" in the "Start Date/Time" folder. This is best adjusted on frame 0 (the time calculations are based around syncing to a video, but of course there's no video in the generic Night Sky sitch, but that's still how it works).

It's saves in the permalink, here's the updated one for the above with it set to 16 (a rough match)

Looks like there's several planes there. In theory you could drop in their KMLs. It's an excellent video.

Nice video. Should send it to Ryan Graves' organization, as it's coming from an astronomical center, and doesn't have the baggage of skepticism associated with it. Enough of these videos from observatories and he'll have to concede, although with the number of future launches, it's set to get much busier up there soon and I think the mystery will diminish.

The counterclaim will be what the pilots saw is "different" despite all the videos looking exactly like Starlink.

A localish report, I looked in Stirec but did not see a train, perhaps the TLEs are not up to date enough if this was a recent launch?

They say "about 25 of them" in another reply

~19:00 UTC (GMT)

Location is approx 53.67682508458437, -2.982139100781373

Then again this launch page says last launch was 7/1/2024 number matches approx though

Maybe not. See if it shows up tomorrow.

Nice video of Starlink flares from Argentina. Might be able to sync this one up with the time code visible. Not sure how accurate the clock is though.

The time appears to be accurare to UTC-3 Time. It matches with sitrec exactly.
