Apparently they appeared as a bead of lights moving across the sky last night.

You`d think they could think up original names for this stuff - I worked on equipment for the Starlink system back in 1980.......

Yepp, by chance, we were sitting on the deck looking out for the Lyrids Meteorits.
Didn't see any of those (peak will be this night, not yesterday) but clearly made out a stream of Starlinks.
They appeared to be in two parallel rows, although one row was weaker. So we were guessing they are not parallel, but higher in altitude?
You can predict passings on www.satflare.com
The will come across in two waves this night (20->21st) again.
According to the Website, travelling Southwest to East.Indeed yes, they were very clear last night.
Seen them a few times now, last time along with the ISS - it was almost surreal.
They should be visible and brighter still tonight - from around 9.58pm, travelling roughly east to west.
pretty sure around 40 of them tonight.
You may get lucky and see a few shooting stars as well!
Yeah, managed to type it the wrong way round - corrected now.If they didn't U-turn since yesterday, that's correct.

Fairly rubbish tonight comapred to last night - saw about 6 in total, and rather feint at that.
Got me out the house though..
