This video is passed around as "UFOs" or "orbs" in the sky when in fact these are Starlink satellite reflecting the sun since they are at a height where the sun has not set yet. The same effect can be seen filmed from the ISS and explained in this video: https://youtu.be/67RDHF83MOE?t=995

Original Tweet
Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1865956888321413408
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
