HANOVER COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) — A strange object was seen flying over parts of Virginia on the afternoon of Jan.4 after a SpaceX launch earlier that morning.
SpaceX announced early Jan. 4 that it had completed the first Starlink launch of the new year, with a Falcon 9 rocket launching off at 1:48 a.m. and 29 Starlink satellites at 3:38 a.m., according to Spaceflight Now.
PREVIOSULY: What was that light spotted in the sky over Virginia?
The rocket launched off from the Space Launch Complex 40 in Florida. The mission was originally scheduled for launch on Dec. 19, but was delayed when SpaceX lost contact with a previous satellite.
A SpaceX social post also noted the launch of the 29 Starlink satellites into the atmosphere earlier this morning.
