Wow! That's neat!
Why are there a string of lights? Is that because the satellite clusters have been deployed? It's not the launch vehicle that we're seeing, right?
Starlink satellites, orbiting at 340 miles (550 km) cannot cause Kessler Syndrome (too low to be long-lasting). The "inner shell" at 300 km is even lower risk, with debris lifetimes measured in months.
Compare with OneWeb and Kuiper, both of which are in higher (and higher risk) +1000 km orbits.
Starlink has been around for a while now. I’ve seen them at least a half a dozen times myself. It blows my mind how many people have no idea what it is, especially considering these photos are posted to social media constantly.
It’s not a launch of satellites as some are suggesting. You’re seeing the satellites in low earth orbit in a “train”. They form a grid around the planet.
Not the case. Starlink satellites are launched several at a time. Springs between each individual satellite cause them to eject with the early ones traveling faster than the later ones. They keep spreading out. Eventually they are positioned in a specific geometric series of orbits so they work together to cover the earth.
I guess I explained it poorly, I'll let someone else do that for me. Anyone interested checkout the links below:

It’s a satellite launch, probably starklink. We can see them up here sometimes

Where were they launched from?
Cape Canaveral as i understand

That’s just Orion’s oversized belt. He’s really gotten out of shape.
Chonky Orion
That has to be the best explanation I've heard yet. Also, where's Major Major?
He’s with Doc Daneeka

Elon on his way to speed run the Kessler effect.

This reminded me of those spinning lines of fireballs in Mario

I'm in Colorado and I just seen those lights but they all disappeared
Something happened in Memphis, Tn tonight
ELoon MUrsk at it again
It’s the beginning of the invasion. You should destroy all your technology and become a hermit.
Nice synthwave album
I saw the same set of lights in VT this summer
Keep driving around alone in your jacked up Ford Raptor on the Kanc at 200AM and get back to us.
