A Dutch website set up to record UFO sightings was flooded early Saturday with reports after a “train of stars” was spotted crossing the Netherlands’ skies, sparking fears of an alien invasion. But what some thought to be a close encounter of the third kind turned out to be a string of some 60 satellites launched by US-based SpaceX hours earlier as part of its “Starlink” constellation.
