Unexplained Chain of Lights Illuminates Friday Night Sky

TL;DR Summary
The chain of lights seen in the sky on Friday night was actually SpaceX's Starlink satellites, which fly closer to Earth than most other satellites and provide broadband internet to customers worldwide. These low-orbiting satellites create a visible train of light as they are launched into orbit and can be easily observed from the ground without the need for a telescope. Several live sites and apps allow users to track the movement of these satellites in real time.
