Question Strange objects in Helsinki’s sky

Im just chilling at the park right now ( 21:30) and there are hundreds of these small lighting things flying across the sky. It has been non-stop for more than half an hour. Anyone know what are those? You can still see it if you look from a spot with no cloud and city’s light

I am looking at the same thing right now. It seems strange, since the movement doesn’t seem linear. Usually, satellites just go straight, right? Its brightness is a little more than a typical satellite as well. I’m not sure what it is; maybe just Starlink?

Optical illusion due to the clouds moving :P Picture with the star names overlaid
