WAUKESHA COUNTY, Wis. - FOX6 News viewers in southeast Wisconsin reported seeing a string of lights in the sky late on Saturday night, May 22. Most likely, those are a series of relatively low-flying satellites launched by Elon Musk's SpaceX earlier this month.
The SpaceX Starlink satellites are part of a plan to bridge the digital divide and bring internet access to underserved areas of the world. SpaceX tentatively planned to launch even more satellites later in the month.
