Many people reported seeing odd streaks in the sky Friday morning. We looked into it.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The usual calm sky over the Sacramento region and parts of California had an odd look Friday morning.
After 6 a.m., people noticed a glow or streaks in the sky to the south. The light cloud cover made the scene somewhat eerie.
Multiple people called, texted or emailed ABC10 asking what was happening in the sky.
One person wrote, “I have never seen anything like this. I don’t believe in aliens – but I thought this was strange looking.”
Here’s what it looked like:
The scene in the sky seems to be a launch from Vandenberg Space Force Base near Lompoc.
At 6:15 a.m. Friday, the base posted on its Facebook page a confirmation of a SpaceX launch.
“Vandenberg Guardians and Airmen supported a SpaceX Falcon 9 Starlink launch of from Space Launch Complex 4E (SLC-4E) at 6:07 a.m., Friday, January 24th,” the post says. “This marks the 4th space launch and missile test from the United States Space Force’s West Coast Spaceport and Test Range at Vandenberg Space Force Base in 2025!”
