Not my pic, I saw it and pulled over.

I tried to take a pic and got a black square of nothing.

I assumed I wouldn't have any evidence but THANK THE FSM someone posted this because it was terrifying to see something I couldn't explain. I didn't think anyone would believe me.

It was actually very scary bc it was either manmade or aliens. I didn't wanna be the aliens guy, for real.

I do astrophotography, happy to show you how much sky pollution all these satellites create. I’m not anti-satellite by any means, just think there’s better ways to do it that’s going to create less long term space junk

The first time I saw a single SpaceX satellite I thought it was cool. Now I feel more like you and others have posted about the space junk. It's like hearing a weed Wacker out in the silence of nature. Seeing a string of 50 of them in a row was SURREAL and kinda terrifying in a "is this the end?" kind of way

I saw them go by a week or so ago. I hate it and I can’t even put my finger on why.

Dude we don't even allow land based billboards why the hell would Vermonters tolerate billboards in the sky?!?

On one hand the tech is cool but there's something about this whole experience that is not causing me to trust what's going on up there.

I love scifi, space, aerospace etc and it bums me out how cool / uncool this is. This is why we can't have nice things.

Probably because we can't install f-ing broadband throughout the state so it's one of the only viable options for internet.

Yes! I saw them last night in Vermont and then again this evening in Massachusetts. I had no idea what they were at first, scared the shit out of me for sure.
