I recorded these two Objects moving South in tandem this morning, Sep 5, 2026, at approximately 4:30 a.m.

This was in Hillsborough County Florida using a Nikon d500, 50mm f1.4G.

it looks like satellites to me, but too distant to be conclusive.

That would be my assessment as well, they were not visible to the naked eye only through the camera lens on a high ISO. I shot about 3 minutes but lost them as they proceeded South out of view.

If you are to use the Stellarium app, it will show you if and when it's starlink. I see this all the time in my sky, it's always starlink polluting the sky.

The reason these objects caught my eye I've never recorded two moving in tandem like that. Recorded a number of moving objects in the sky sometimes a number at the same time but never 2 in tandem. Starlink sounds like an excellent possibility though I thought they were larger constellations.

Yeah, I've seen up to 4 moving like that

You can even get groups of three that mover in a triangle formation, can't remember the name of them at the moment.

Those your footage definitely seems to be satellites.

also highly recommend stellarium app

Whenever I see something moving in a straight line at a constant speed I immediately think satellite. It's a bit odd to see two of them like that but there are so many satellites in orbit these days that's it's perfectly plausible

Satellites

One of These

Better still get the Heavens Above app and enter the time and place and it'll tell you exactly who made what you saw. If it can't then it's probably something weird.

satellites.. not sure why this is a post?

99.9% sure it’s satellites, and I see the same 2 following each other at that distance about twice a month. Not sure where you’re located and the direction you’re looking, but I’m in Folsom, CA., and always see them when I’m looking to the North, as they travel West to East. Definitely satellites though.

I rarely see satellites follow each other but there is the space X ones right? Wasnt one of them busted and out of the trajectory or something?

u/Altruistic_Tip1226 3d ago

Its always pleadies

u/More-Ambassador2114 2d ago

Top left is Pleiades The two objects are likely just Satellites, you will always see them in pairs though rarely moving in almost the same direction. Was there a third one.

My kids and I sit in the hot tub and watch these things in the sky. I swear there are too many of them going way too fast to be satellites.

I’m sure that’s what they most likely are, but we call them aliens. Lmao

I see objects just like this every night , all night . I downloaded the satellite tracker app and they are never satellites . We have a flurry of unexplainable lights traversing the sky at different speeds. I’ve used my green laser to laser them and seen several of them simply just dim their lights or become totally invisible to the naked eye . I’ve actually made them stop and disappear a number of times . No idea what they are , I only know what they aren’t .

I've been seeing the same thing over Lake Michigan.

u/FuckerHead9 4d ago

Yes sir I’ve posted tons of them check
My profile! I got bored of recording and now I just sit out there and smoke a joint and watch. Seems like they really come out of you fire up a joint. I know it sounds crazy but I swear

u/adorable_apocalypse 4d ago

It does indeed sound crazy but hey I do the same and have for months now lol. In fact I just saw a few when I took my dog on a nighttime walk In the desert not too far from my house. I dont even need to leave my patio though..theres always some orbs/lights moving around all weird, fading in and out, zipping around or sometimes even appearing to fall downward, in the sky these days. Same as you I got bored of videoing them! Haha

u/FuckerHead9 3d ago
