I visited family in southern France last week and with a sky which has a lot less light pollution than where I live I had my eyes on the skies constantly while enjoying Christmas-dinner outside.
At one point in the evening, I saw one.. two... three... SIXTY satellites passing by, all in the exact same orbit.
Insert 'satellites in the same orbit' in Google and I quickly found out it is Elon Musks' toys flying past at around 350 km's height. The project is called 'Starlink'.

The photos were taken with a shutter speed of around 20 seconds, so each line in the photo represents the distance each satellite covered in those 20 seconds.
