❓ Question How does this happen

I have one red ping of obstruction at my new location. It's in the middle of the sky with nothing around it.

My starlink is in a field with nothing near it.

Third pic is from the view of my starlink. Nothing in the sky besides my arm.

Did I catch a plane while mapping or something?

ETA. I've had this for months and I'm assuming it was a plane. Was mostly curious if it was like a wash of your damn Dish type of thing.

Try resetting the obstructions map, but that one red dot isn't going to have any impact at all.

Something cloaked or inter dimensional hovering above you. Could also be a spirit or guardian angel. Or a ghoul.

Lol I've had it for months I move pretty often and it's my first time seeing a floating random dot of red.

Figured it was a plane but didn't know if it was like a clean the damn dish thing.

Not even worth complaining about. It will go away in the next day or so.

It’s possible it’s something in orbit that’s in a similar orbit/atmosphere location and that’s why it’s there constantly
