There's been a lot of talk about what's happening in the skies of Idaho lately. A major part of that could be triggered by all of the weird news coming out lately: aliens being found in Mexico, and even that emergency alert we all got on our phones provoking an array of conspiracy theories.

Don't panic if you see bright lights over Boise tonight

If you've ever taken a gander into Idaho weather Facebook groups, chances are you've seen someone ask others to identify a row of bright lights over the Treasure Valley sky. Those same lights are going to appear over Boise tonight and no, they're not aliens.

Rather - it's the product of genius, billionaire, tech guru... Elon Musk. We're talking about the Starlink satellites which were designed to provide internet to anyone and everyone all over the world.

According to their website:

Starlink is the world's first and largest satellite constellation using a low Earth orbit to deliver broadband internet capable of supporting streaming, online gaming, video calls and more.

What we see down on planet Earth, however, is a row of "lights" over the sky that would've easily been mistaken as a UFO/UAP only a few years ago. Today, we know that it's simply a reminder of how far we've come technologically as a civilization.

You can catch a glimpse of this technological wonder TONIGHT (Monday, 10/9/23)

Thanks to a tip from one of our listeners, we were reminded that we'll all be able to see arguably one of Elon Musk's greatest creations in the skies over the Treasure Valley tonight. We confirmed this when checking out a site that tracks Starlink's location.

If you miss out, you'll have another shot at seeing this satellite wonder tomorrow night (Tuesday, 10/10) for about 4 minutes at 8:42 PM when you look West (272°) to Southwest (233°).
