For the past few weeks while on lockdown my wife and i have been taking more interest in the clear night skys and every night without fail we see lights moving in varied directions and over each other. tonight we heard about the lyrid meteor shower and went out with our oldest boy to view them, we weren't so lucky and only seen a few but we counted over 20 moving lights. most had a straight path, some made random adjustments to the path. two of them flew at each other, this took me to thinking there is hardly any planes flying at the moment, i'd be surprised if planes at high altitude would be allowed to do this anyway never mind when the skys are so quiet that it would rarely occur? now i say altitude as these moving lights are so high up in a crystal clear sky and they vanish without notice and i can see no blue and red marker lights at all even when zooming in with my phone. i thought out of curiosity to hit up some google work lol....... every day, faa 's air traffic organization ( ato ) provides service to more than 44,000 flights. so how many planes are in the air at any one time.......In 2017 there was an average of 9,728 planes in the sky at any one time again there are hardly any planes in the air at anyone time over 29 million square miles of airspace. plus no marker lights, occasional random adjustments and disappearing at the drop of a hat. so i'm curious if it could be satellites in orbit? i'm waiting on approval for forums to ask the question but again feel worried they would laugh at me for even considering that it could be anything else. any advice would be greatly appreciated as i am very curious.
