A line of lights over Africa
Explore a South African witness recording alongside the investigator's Starlink interpretation, keeping an important missing timestamp explicit.
What to keep in mind
The filing date is not a verified capture time. UAPSRS identifies a likely satellite train, but the available record cannot select a particular launch or orbital pass.
Inspect the line
Around eight seconds, does the luminous feature resolve into points or a merged stripe? Record what is visible without inventing a count or physical length.
Follow the alignment
Does the feature retain its alignment as the camera moves? Compare changes in the recorded light with changes in framing.
Build a pass checklist
Which original metadata would let another observer test a specific satellite pass? Distinguish the missing capture time from the known report-filing date.
