A TRAIL of bright lights were spotted in the night skies over Rhuddlan on Monday (December 11).
Emma Horton spotted the line of lights which came sadly not from Father Christmas and his sleigh, but from Elon Musk's Space X Starlink satellites.
Space X began launching Starlink satellites in 2019. Its aim is to provide internet coverage to the most rural parts of the world by sending thousands of small satellites into orbit.
The satellites beam down broadband signals to areas without strong cable connections.
It is currently being used in UK Government trials to connect areas without strong internet connections.

The satellites provide quite the sight as they travel across the sky, resembling a bright “train of lights”.
Visibility was good when Emma captured the photo.
A statement into Starlink says: "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.
"Leveraging advanced satellites and user hardware coupled with our deep experience with both spacecraft and on-orbit operations, Starlink delivers high-speed, low-latency internet to users all over the world."
