Researchers Say Elon Musk’s Satellites Triggered An Increase In UFO Sightings
Is it a UFO, or is it just another one of Elon Musk’s satellites?
Researchers from the University of Vermont and the Center for UFO Studies found that Musk’s SpaceX was responsible for the uptick in UFO sightings since the pandemic began.
While researchers initially believed that pandemic boredom caused more people to investigate the night sky and report more than 600 sightings than normal in 2020, the cases coincided with SpaceX’s Starlink satellites.

The company launched dozens of satellites into orbit in May 2019 to provide internet coverage to 50 countries around the world, with reports of UFOs spiking at around the same time.
“These launches include up to 60 small satellites at once, and so are very distinctive and often easily visible,” researchers noted. “As a result, many people report these as UFOs.”
According to data from the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC), there were 5262 sightings in 2019 and 5,882 by 2020.
The Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), which also gathers reports of UFO sightings in the US, provides a lower estimate of 3,929 sightings in 2019 and 4,503 in 2020.
