It wasn’t a UFO but another satellite from SpaceX.

The Falcon 9 launched 23 Starlink satellites from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California just after 6 p.m.

Arizona residents could see the satellite streak across the night sky and shared their photos and videos with Arizona’s Family.

This is the 23rd flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, SpaceX said.
