People from the southwestern US to Scandinavia and the far reaches of Eastern Europe posted footage of an unidentified flying object they saw mysteriously coasting overhead in a spiral pattern Thursday evening.
“Completely clear skies, and I see a super blurry white light (no flashes like a plane), coming straight at me horizontally. It then goes straight up and FREAKING [DISSAPPEARS],” one user frantically posted to X along with a video of the object.
“SOMEONE EXPLAIN PLZ,” they added.
Another account aggregated video of the UFO flying over palm trees in Southern California. A Canoga Park resident in Los Angeles posted footage, too.
However, there might be a rather terrestrial explanation. On Thursday, there were two SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launches spread across the East and West coasts, according to Space.com.
The first flew out of Vandenberg Space Force Base north of Santa Barbara, California, and the later one left Florida’s Cape Canaveral at 10:37 p.m.
