Residents in Las Vegas called the authorities when they saw what appeared to be a white streak in the sky on Monday evening February 10. The authorities did confirm that the streak in the sky was not an Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) but a SpaceX Falcon rocket that took off from Vandenberg Space Force base in California that had 23 Starlink satellites into orbit. Always better to be safe than sorry dealing with streaks in the sky these days. Link is upi.com/1471739305659 via @upi,

I bet some people thought it was an UFO.

That is true since with the news reports of UFOs around the world, it could have been a UFO.

@Deepizzaguy Yes, some people probably mistook as an UFO.

It's good to know it was nothing sinister.

There are a lot more rockets being launched now than in the past, with Elon Musk in the game now too.
