Marco, are you referring to the pics I posted from last Monday? It appears it was the “ SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carrying a payload of 22 Starlink internet satellites ”.
The article goes on to say that the falcon 9 deployed the 22 satellites after it reached orbit.

The first time I saw them was with Dom and Daniel in Wyoming looking for a camping spot. I thought it was aliens and I WAS NOT OKAY. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I remember the first time I saw the ISS. I thought for sure I was gonna die. 🤣🤣🤣

Uhh, same trip we just concluded? Confused.

Yeah Steve, Monday evening I let Adam go play basketball at the local Guerrero Negro courts with Serena’s boy Isaac. About dark I started getting worried and went to go find them in the 80. After I found the courts, I let them finish their game, then on our way back to whale magic we noticed a bunch of people in the streets taking video of the sky. We had no idea what it was but I snapped a couple pictures and took a short video. That’s what I posted earlier.

Very cool and I’m glad you got to see and record it!

Yeah, if I remember correctly somebody said you only see the train within a week of a launch or something. So I’m thinking it was?
