#1 I wondered why there was a sudden spate of "news" stories on this topic.

#2 I find it interesting that all of these UFO sightings coincide with SpaceX launching 60 Starlink Internet satellites into orbit.

#3 Good intuition, SCFI.
The sightings are primarily historic, but the SpaceX mesh may very well serve as a detector membrane.

#5 I should clarify, I meant the most recent sightings that's appearing in the news lately.

But even in the past. it seems (not completely researched) that most "UFO" sightings coincide with satellites launches.

#6 most "UFO" sightings coincide with satellites launches.

That may be because we are watching the skies closer around that time. Note they don't show up for ~~aborted~~ rescheduled launches.

I remember the Russian trawlers would show up off Kwajalein before we had notice of a launch.
