SpaceX rocket launch seen across Arizona Friday night

Did you look up Friday evening and catch that indescribably weird light in the sky?

Rest assured, that bizarre object lighting up the sky was not alien visitors, it was just the most recent SpaceX mission.

The Falcon 9 rocket was launched from California’s Vandenberg Air Force Base carrying several Iridium communication satellites into orbit. 

The launch was visible across state lines due to the rocket’s bright flame.
