Various videos and photos sent to this newsroom show the moment the Maltese islands were baffled by a string of lights and objects racing across the sky.

For those who may not be familiar with Starlink, it is a revolutionary satellite system created by SpaceX with the goal of providing high-speed internet to even the most remote locations on Earth.
The satellites are launched into orbit in batches, and have a long term plan to deploy a constellation of up to 42,000 satellites to provide global coverage.
Did you spot these satellites?
