Daily Mail: 'The aliens are here': Arizona and California 911 centers are inundated with calls and celebrities go on a Twitter frenzy over 'spaceship-shaped light' in the sky - but it is just a Space X rocket
* Residents of Southern California and Arizona were startled just after dusk on Friday
* A strange white light which later turned out to be a SpaceX rocket launch appeared in the sky
* The streak of white light would create what turned out to be a fish-shaped pattern, prompting locals to speculate on social media as to what it was
* Local television stations as well as law enforcement agencies received a number of telephone calls from amazed witnesses
* They were eventually told that what they saw was a rocket launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base in central California
Residents of Southern California and Arizona were startled just after dusk on Friday when a strange white light which later turned out to be a SpaceX rocket launch appeared in the sky.
The streak of white light would create what turned out to be a fish-shaped pattern, prompting locals to speculate on social media as to what it was.
Local television stations as well as law enforcement agencies received a number of telephone calls from amazed witnesses who were eventually told that what they saw was a rocket launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base in central California.
One news report said that at least 130 people in just one part of Los Angeles County called 911 on Friday evening.

For those of us who live here (I live about 5 or so miles from most launches)for any length of time, have seen these "twilight effects" from some missile launches. I have seen even more spectactular ones. A little investigation and some rational thought makes it easy to know that Vandenberg Air Force Base lauches these rockets here. I also understand why some people can rationally think the rocket launches are initially possibly otherworldly.
I'm saying this as a person who saw a UFO in 1977, that I think to this day is an ET craft, but I still believe most are "earthly" rather than unworldly and all are natural, not supernatural. Even the craft that are otherworldy need not be supernatural.
The ET craft was between Camp Crook, South Dakota and Buffalo, South Dakota almost to the Montana border. A woman who worked with the Camp Crook Forest Service, saw the ET craft. If, hopefully, she is still alive (my brother who also saw the craft died), will contact me through the website, I'd appreciate it because mostly only family members believe me, I'd appreciate it. If she fairly accurately describes it I will know she is "the one." PS, she had very thick eye glasses.
So, be there and be square. :-)
The ET craft I saw was between
SpaceX fanboys j*zzed in their pants
I witnessed this out near 29 Palms just south of the Marine base near where I live. I watched from beginning to end when the original vehicle disappeared from sight to the south of me.
My impression is that this was a test of defenses to protect the missile from shootdown or to flummox the adversary's attempts to destroy a missile. The vehicle that separated from the initial one fell in orange coloured flames straight down after numerous "flares" were deployed from it. From the initial separation and the beginning of the "decoy" test I saw about 20 instances of bright dots that looked like the white hot exhaust from the initial vehicle's engine exhaust port. These were short lived, 4 to 5 seconds, and after the separation when the "decoys" were launched one by one. Most launches were accompanied by a faint smoke ring. At first, the "decoys" were let go at regular intervals and after about 8 were loosed they appeared to be launched in an irregular manner.
Hmmm. You know, it just dawned on me that perhaps I was watching the disintegration of the missile that carried the "decoys" after it's separation. It certainly did not seem to be a break-up but then how many of those does one observe in a lifetime? If this was indeed a test of defenses it was the most impressive experience and I remember thinking that no NK defense system is going to successfully deal with what I saw.
No matter; it was an unforgettable visual experience with the rocket's sunlit exhaust against the dark clouds after the sun's setting. The videos I've seen do it little justice.

This was a pretty spectacular sight to see. I remember seeing one back in the late 90's in the summer sky, but it was nowhere near this. One plus of cell phones and texting is the instant stream of information that gets thrown out there in the first 30 seconds of something like this going down, the stream coming into my phone was pretty entertaining.
"Rocket launch southern sky"
"WTF is going on, North Korea?"
"Dude, what the hell is that"
"Quick, go look at the sky"
"there is some sort of orb following it"
