SpaceX launched its Falcon 9 rocket on Friday night, creating a dazzling display in the sky above Southern California, and baffling some people who had no idea what was happening.
Watch some of the reactions from the ground:
Some people were unsure what was happening. "What did I just witness," one man asked:
"It must be a comet."
"Are we about to die?"
SpaceX launched this Falcon 9 mission from California's Vandenberg Air Force Base, carrying a collection of 10 satellites into low-Earth orbit. The payload is destined for a constellation of communications satellites owned by Iridium Communications. SpaceX conducted a similar launch for the same company in June.
