There was a string of lights spotted in the sky over Texas on Monday night, leaving some residents in the area baffled as to what they might have seen.

What could the lights have been? Were they aliens? Not this time.

KXAN reported that they were part of the Starlink satellite chain.

So what are the Starlink satellites?

Starlink is SpaceX's internet satellites that deliver fast internet service to locations where other internet services can't reach or are unreliable.

Starlink has launched 3,347 satellites so far, according to the website Starwalk.
