Well that was not as spectacular as the video but we did see 7 satellites in 15 minutes.

Tonight is the peak of the Lyrid meteor shower but you will have to stay up late to see the best of it.

Just went outside to gaze and saw over 20 satellites in 10 minutes pretty well equally spaced across the sky - must have been Starlink.

Its better than telly.

Saw just one move at decent pace, but then saw a second one move perpendicular to that one. Their paths crossed.
Neighbour was with me, saw it too. Wasn't shooting star (we happened to see a really bright one earlier). Weird.
