Nov 11
“Time: nov 11 20:30-21:30 pacific
Location:
just over halfway through the flight we were operating close to 30N50 waypoint to the north and high altitude saw many orbs moving in different directions and fading away, very bright at times. Seemed to only be in this area.”
This is the third time I have seen these, last time was last year operating a flight to Hawaii as well. Colleague’s seen them also many times and never saw them in the 20+ years of flying till the last couple of years

Good for them.
Sounds like satellites flaring, like this

They are mostly caused by Starlink satellites, which explains why they are a somewhat recent phenomena
They’ll be to the west a few hours after sunset, or to the east a few hours before sunrise
Can you explain what we’re looking at in layman’s terms?
Isn’t there activity in our atmosphere currently? Could our military or some org with a fleet of drones be up observing it?
Are you familiar with how satellites look when they reflect sunlight from over the horizon?

so why didn’t you at take a picture of them and instead chose the one of a radar?
Debunkers wake up. Pilots can report UAP’s now. I know it will piss you guys off but these are the times we live in.
Starlink flares. Especially if you’re travelling west over the pacific just after sunset.
