DELAWARE — A bright light spotted streaking across the Delaware sky Tuesday night had many residents questioning whether they had witnessed a meteor or an unidentified aerial phenomenon.
According to the American Meteor Society, the spectacle was actually a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launching the Maxar 3 mission from Florida’s Kennedy Space Center at 6:13 p.m. The rocket’s glowing trail and vibrant colors were visible across multiple states, including Delaware.
