The Falcon 9 rocket of Elon Musk’s SpaceX space company, which was carrying 53 Starlink satellites to Earth orbit, was seen in Mexico after it launched from California. While the comet-like image created in the sky was viewed with great interest, some witnesses were scared, thinking that it was a UFO. The light was also observed in the northern states of Mexico.
Images of the launch were broadcast from SpaceX’s official social media account.
