SpaceX continues to launch satellites. Hundreds of satellites are visible at any one time and appear mostly in a straight line. As time goes on, they will be moved to different locations. Many observers believe they see shapes in their reflections such as triangles, squares, etc.
A typical launch recently took place at Vandenberg AFB in California (see video left). The launch vehicle itself has also resulted in reports where witnesses have mistaken it as unidentified aerial phenomena.
The project is designed to enable high-bandwidth, low-latency internet services for many countries worldwide. SpaceX intends to place nearly 1600 satellites in orbits at heights of 341-miles above the Earth. Motivation for this project includes vying for an estimated $16 billion dollars from the FCC for improvements to rural internet services which are intended to start this year with expansion globally through 2021.
When SpaceX launchs its Falcon 9 rockets that send various satellites into space, they are two stage rockets. The lower portion is resuable and returns to Earth in a controlled landing.
The upper stage deploys it’s satellites and begins a descent back towards Earth eventually burning up in the atmosphere.
Persons on the ground may see what looks like a spiral portal opening in the sky. It is actually the upper stage tumbling back to Earth ejecting it’s unsued fuel.
