A Twin Lakes couple captured a mysterious sight in the sky on Wednesday morning.

Kristy Russell took this picture at 6:13 a.m. of what looks like a trail of lights travelling through the sky.

鈥淚鈥檝e never seen anything like it. My husband actually thought it could be aliens and said if it was, he wasn鈥檛 going to work today,鈥 Russell said jokingly.

The trail of lights travelled for some time, heading towards Kaleden and Penticton.

Russell posted the picture on the Penticton Facebook page and several people had seen it too. Some pointed out that it is likely Elon Musk鈥檚 SpaceX鈥檚 Starlink satellites.

In April, the same light show puzzled British skywatchers who took to social media to post the same kind of pictures Russell did.

This isn鈥檛 the first time skywatchers have seen unusual sights in the night sky in the Okanagan.

In February, a 91大黄鸭 man filmed a similar image of a trail of lights hanging around above Lake Okanagan.
