Keep in mind that Satellites do't just wiz by and all just just purely visible. The night sky would stay lit up and look like some Jetsons shit if that were the case. Now mind you, I was not there when Boyiee say this is the sky, I am talking from an amateur astronomer and a Cosmolgy Grad student perspective as to what it possibly is.
I think some of you are twisting what I am saying lol. Everyone has misconception about what is in the sky and I have seen first hand people swear up and down that Venus, Jupiter, Mars and even a transiting ISS are nothing more than satellites which just is not accurate. Now you can see Satellites but trust me when I tell you seeing them wizzing about with the naked eye is extremely difficult.
Now you compound that with the fact that most cities use sodium vapor lamps that give off a shitty glare and really fuck with the night sky that makes its even harder to see with an unaided eye. Just as you look up and you can count 30 stars in really urban and heavily populated areas? When in actuality there are millions of them that are being hidden by the glare of the afore mentioned sodium vapor lamps we use nowadays.
Not trying to call anyone out or dismiss anyone so please don't take it as that, but as a Cosmologist, it drives me bat shit crazy to hear "OH YA THATS A SATELLITE, OH YEAH THATS A SATELLITE" over and over when in actuality its not. You have to look at it objectively and realize regarding space and physics not everything is as it appears, simple answers are neat and convenient but are rarely the case.
Here is a Satellite map from just half of our planet, this is what you would see every night if Satellites and space debris was that prevalent and you guys are making it seem. Then again what do I know
