SpaceX recently launched its Falcon 9 rocket from California. The successful rocket launch created a light show in Californian skies, exciting people.
Thrilled viewers took to social media to share pictures and videos of the rocket launch and landing carried out by SpaceX on Sunday night.
The launch caused a bright light across the sky, making it resemble a comet with some cloud around it, wrote Fox News.

Nope, definitely not aliens.
What you’re looking at is the first launch and landing of the @SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket on the West Coast. The rocket took off from Vandenberg Air Force Base at 7:21 p.m. and landed safely back on Earth. 🚀 pic.twitter.com/8AKjGptpps

Of course, the light show also led people to believe it to be an alien invasion as well.
I don’t believe it’s #SpaceX. It’s definitely the aliens 👽 pic.twitter.com/scqd0pAwMr
