What is this ?
Last year in April recorded similar in same area of sky same area in Arizona -
last april used wyze cam V3
my guess is its starlink sats but im really not sure -
no time code on camera but my guess is 4am ish -
15 second shutter - 20 second pause - causes break in streak line -
cam is DJI action One - has some adjustment but basic -
cam is in TL photo mode and makes One video file -
cant change the Pause timing -
video -
surprising to see that sats are Brighter when close to ground than when up high -
Is there some way that a Beam of sunlight gets Bent around the earth ?
this was about 60 - 90 minutes before sunrise

Re: What is this ?
A very interesting video.
As you know the rough date/time and the direction could not use an
It would be great to know if any satellites match up.
Have fun.

Re: What is this ?
satellites pretty much stay same brightness - Same part of sky- earth spins underneath
the Blink part of streak is 20 second is pause between pictures -
the Lighted part of streak is 15 seconds shutter is open -
weird part is No Other satellites visible at this time in video (airplane on last frames )
No Doubt there was Many satellites in this part of sky -
my guess is 4am April 12 - Arizona -
is there some kind of earth / sun alinement that would cause Spot Light Type effect
that moves from Low Horizon Up like this ??
Last year in April 50 miles from my location recorded similar -
after about 10 nights it Stopped - not to be seen again till now -
