The truth behind the UFO
”It appeared to be a fireball or some object ejected from it, close to the tree line. I watched as it fell from the sky.” This was the testimony of Anessa Shaffer, the local resident who posted the images on her Facebook profile. Neighbors, in the comments, said they had never witnessed anything like it.
Was it, in fact, a UFO?
What the experts say
The News & Observer portal reported that, in fact, it is not one. Quite the opposite! The people's record concerns a SpaceX mission, specifically the 43rd. It was broadcast live. So the mystery was easily solved: that was a rocket.
Falcon 9, a space rocket that lifted off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station at 7:30 pm and became visible to North Carolina residents after reaching outer space. In other words, it wasn't a ufological demonstration or anything like that.
What was in the rocket
SpaceX launched Falcon 9 with the aim of taking 52 Starlink satellites into orbit. In this way, they join the 3,400 Starlink units that have already been sent to the extraterrestrial medium.
The company intends to carry out approximately 60 missions in 2022 at an average of one launch every 6 days. But it doesn't stop there: next year, they demonstrate interest in launching a new version of Starlink satellites, which are even more technological, as there will be a connection that will be transmitted directly to cell phones.
