At the end of June, a video was published on Facebook, which has now been viewed millions of times and has attracted attention.

You can see a supposed UFO crossing the sky in the early morning. “Mars attacks” or a natural cause?

In English the user writes in screaming capital letters:

OK, I'm sitting on the balcony, it's 5am or something, and I see what I thought was a comet at first... and I captured this... what the hell is that???

You can get an impression for yourself here:

For those in a hurry:

No, we are not seeing a UFO here, but rather the launch of the Space X rocket.

Is this recording real?

In fact, the recording has not been edited; the video, as you can see, was recorded at around a quarter to 6 a.m. local time on the east coast of the USA.

Then there are certainly other recordings too!

Of course there are. Here, a user took a minute-long video and several photos of the event and published them a few hours later.

And a fairly prominent person, none other than Elon Musk, also posted a photo of it on his Instagram account :

And what was that now?

As some people probably know, Elon Musk is not necessarily known for believing in unidentified flying objects, but he himself sends quite well-known flying objects into space! This is also the case in this case: As the “Kennedy Space Center” reported, the SpaceX Falcon 9 CRS-15 rocket was launched on June 29, 2018 at 5:41 a.m., of which Elon Musk and his company “ SpaceX ” are of course quite proud.

The glow of the engine gases is explained by the fact that the rocket was launched at dawn. In the images, the rocket reaches a height at which the gases are illuminated by the rising sun, which is still behind the horizon.

Conclusion

No, we are not seeing a UFO here, but the launch of a Space X rocket.

Whether you believe that or not. It is like that.
