A photographer based in Vetroz, Switzerland, managed to capture the "angelic" scene as a SpaceX Starlink satellite train illuminated the sky on April 21.

Footage shows the objects lighting up the surrounding clouds as they made their way into the outer atmosphere.

The filmer told Newsflare: "It was early afternoon in Florida. That meant evening in Europe. Just only one orbit revolution after launch it flew over southern France after dark, and it was still illuminated by the Sun.

"Just as I thought I missed it and was about to return home, I saw a very weird cloud glowing above the mountain and rising exactly where I expected the Starlink train to appear. Wow, what a sight!

"In fact, the short line visible above the cloud is the Starlink train - over 50 satellites still very close together, remember, they have just been released from stage two about an hour earlier."
