SpaceX rocket launches over Atlantic with spectacular burst of light

It may have an eerie, UFO-like appearance, but this burst of light in the sky is actually the aftermath of an event. SpaceX Raise the rocket.

The spectacular and colorful scene was so amazing that when it was seen by a US Air Force crew, they said that the unusual phenomenon had left them ‘stunned’.

Amazing pictures were taken later that day at 37,000 feet above the Atlantic Ocean.

Staff Sergeant Christian Maglioca, who was unable to reveal exactly where the pictures were taken because they are classified, said he and his crew were ‘confused’ to see an unidentified light burst from the deck of their massive transport aircraft.

Fascinating: It may have a strange, UFO-like appearance, but this burst of light in the sky is actually the aftermath of a SpaceX rocket launch.

The spectacular and colorful scene was so amazing that when a US Air Force crew saw it they said they were ‘stunned’ by the unusual phenomenon.

On Saturday, billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk’s SpaceX launched 52 Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit from Florida’s Cape Canaveral Space Force Station (pictured).

The 15th Airlift Squadron loadmaster said: ‘These pictures were taken 37,000 feet above the flight deck of a C-17 Globemaster III somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean.

‘We saw it coming over the horizon and were really confused as to what it could be.

‘At first we thought it was the Artemis launch that was going backwards.’

However, otherworldly encounters were later identified as being associated with SpaceX satellite launches.

Staff Sergeant Maglioca added: ‘For us, the event lasted about ten minutes from start to finish. Truly a sight to behold.

‘I’m a loadmaster on the C17 so my role is all things related to the cargo compartment of the aircraft.

The pilot and my other lode flying partners were absolutely shocked.

Staff Sergeant Christian Magliocca (pictured) said he and his crew were ‘confused’ after seeing an unidentified light bloom from the deck of their large transport aircraft.

Not for the first time, the otherworldly encounter was later identified as being associated with a SpaceX satellite launch.

‘I think I speak for all of us when I say that we will never forget it as long as we live.’

Several times this year a SpaceX launch has made observers think there might be UFOs.

In June, a mysterious blue spiral traveling across the New Zealand sky baffled onlookers who thought it was of alien origin.

A spiraling plume of gas lit up the sky over Nelson, a town on the tip of New Zealand’s South Island, and traveled 750 kilometers south to Stewart Island.

However, experts later revealed that the incident was caused by man-made space junk in the form of a dead rocket launched by Musk’s company.

A trail of mysterious moving lights that shocked Australians in January has also been attributed to Starlink satellites launched by SpaceX.
