Arizonans might have noticed a bright light streaking across the sky on Sunday evening.
PHOENIX — Is it a bird? Is it a plane? It’s… a SpaceX launch visible in Arizona!
If you saw a bright light in the sky on Sunday evening, you’re not seeing things and chances are, it wasn’t a UFO: SpaceX launched another batch of its Starlink internet satellites into low-earth orbit from Vandenberg Space Force Base.
The company plans to launch 28 Starlink satellites from its Falcon 9 rocket.
According to SpaceX, it is targeting Sunday for a Falcon 9 launch of 28 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.
This is the 28th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, SpaceX said. The company said that following the stage separation, the first stage will land on the “Of Course I Still Love You” drone ship, which will be stationed in the Pacific Ocean.
