Reportedly the Starlink satellites are the size of an office desk and are allegedly between 200 and 300 miles away, and have no exterior illumination. So how can you see something the size of an office desk from 200+ miles away at night when it has no source of light? Maybe they're not what Elon et al. claim they are. Have you ever thought about that?
Supposedly they reflect the light of the sun. I've never seen them, but there is video of them traveling in tandem, like a train going through the sky:
Light such as this being 200-300 miles away isn't so outlandish. The red blinking lights you see on TV towers, which can be 2000 feet tall, are about the size of a shoebox (albeit with internal illumination) and can easily be seen at night 10 or more miles away, if you have a straight shot from your location to the transmitter. An office desk is several times larger than one of these lights (think office desk
versus shoebox).
