UFO sighting? Mystery object in SpaceX live stream
The SpaceX video appears to show an unidentified object streak past a Falcon 9 rocket at the exact moment satellite JCSAT-18/Kacific1 is released into space.
It was this week announced how NASA would provide SpaceX more than $22.6 billion (£17.2 billion), falling short of the agency’s request for lunar lander development.
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched on Monday, December 16, from the Space Launch Complex 40 from Florida’s Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
The JCSAT-18/Kacific1 satellite was deployed approximately 33 minutes after liftoff.
The Falcon 9’s first-stage booster, previously used for NASA cargo runs to the International Space Station (ISS) in May and July, landed on the Atlantic drone-ship Of Course I Still Love You almost nine minutes into the mission, returning to Earth for the third time.
Youtube viewer Ken was clearly impressed by the SpaceX footage, writing: “A white UFO has a curved flight path coming from left bottom to right side of screen! What is going on here?
“No debris or meteor-like object can fly a curve in such a short distance!
“Gravity forces of planet earth or the moon affect slower and on longer ranges as far as I know.”
