Elon Musk's satellites have been caught on camera in the skies over Norfolk. 

The Space X Starlink spacecraft were photographed just after 6pm on Thursday. 

Space X began launching Starlink satellites in 2019 and the unusual lights have been spotted in the sky by curious onlookers over the last few months.

Musk now has thousands of small satellites in orbit that provide internet connectivity to parts of the world that do not have strong cable connections.

The latest batch of satellites were launched in the US earlier this week. 

The probes are easiest to glimpse within a day or two of their launch.

When the satellites reach the intended height of 342 miles above the ground they become much more tricky to spot.

Molly Goodall photographed the strange lights from Wymondham.

She said she spotted the satellites while out walking her dog.
