SAN DIEGO — Did you see it? What appeared to look like a meteor in the sky was actually a rocket launch of SpaceX satellites above San Diego County.
SpaceX launched 53 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit, emanating from Vandenberg Space Force Base. The launch window began at 6:14 p.m., SpaceX said.
“Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship, which will be stationed in the Pacific Ocean,” SpaceX said.
Similar to recent sightings of strange things in the sky, San Diegans shared what they saw on social media.
