These SpaceX satellites were reported as UFOs, so they were clearly quite visible to people not looking for them.

They were much brighter and closer together right after deployment than in operation. Already, they've spread out and are now aligned in operational configuration so they're far less noticeable than at first. On par with typical satellites. I spotted them night before last, and it was difficult to see them.

ISS is also sometimes reported as a UFO. It's often brighter than Venus.
