REMARKS
Aircraft reported an unidentified aerial phenomenon off the right side while W bound at 18,000 feet, directly over BWZ. The
unknown phenomenon was reported looking like space debris (burning flames) entering from the atmosphere above and
traveling E bound. Multiple aircraft are also reporting the same phenomenon. No space debris re-entry scheduled. 0001 ZOB
reported receiving a phone call from a pilot at home in Carroll County, seeing a long white object moving W to E, near the
Pittsburg area. Pilot later called back and stated he thinks it is Starlink satellites. Various other reports of the ISS going across
the sky possibly reflecting light at approximately the same time. NFA. JH notified.
