Storm Center 7 Meteorologist Robert Gauthreaux says the light in the sky was from the Starlink-71 Satellite.

It was visible at about 7:37 p.m. for about five minutes from west to north, according to its website.

News Center 7′s Gabrielle Enright saw it over Jamestown and sent a photo to our Storm Center 7 team.

Gauthreaux says Sunday night was great viewing weather to see it with clear skies and sometimes you can see satellites in the night sky in those conditions.
