Anyone see or hear what they were? Could have been a large release of satellites? We re about 20 miles south of Indiana toll Road. Near the IN OH border. Altitude and speed appeared to be greater than commercial aircraft. Date 6/12/2023
 
I thought I read about a month or so ago that there was supposed to be a starlink or something around to see earlier than this. Don't remember a lot about it now.
 
I saw the same thing about a year ago in here in West Michigan. It's quite a sight. I think we counted 30 or so of them. Took about half an hour for them to pass over west to east. You can find a viewing schedule at NASA web site to see the space station. It's worth seeing also especially with binoculars.

Starlink is a satellite internet constellation operated by American aerospace company SpaceX,[3] providing
satellite Internet access coverage to over 54 countries. It also aims for global mobile phone service after
2023.[4] SpaceX started launching Starlink satellites in 2019. As of May 2023, Starlink consists of over
4,000 mass-produced small satellites in low Earth orbit.

There were two rocket launches on the 12th
One at 3am from FL and another at 2:45pm from CA.
Both were combo launches of various satellites including starlinks.
