I was at an outdoor party on the same night that a Starlink satellite deploy mission occurred over my area.
I was able to see, with my naked eye, as the rocket fired off some sort of burn.
It looked like an airplane with headlights pointing backwards.
It wasn't until the next day that I confirmed what I had seen when I read about it on my local Reddit sub.
It was really cool to have actually seen a the-future-is-now event like that.
