SpaceX’s satellite internet project, Starlink, seen in the eastern Iowa sky on Friday night


Cedar Rapids, Iowa (KCRG) – KCRG-TV9 received several phone calls and messages from viewers on Friday evening saying they were seeing a long line of lights in the sky west of our viewing area.

The good news: they are not UFOs!

After a brief investigation, we decided that the lights were actually part of SpaceX’s satellite internet project Starlink.
