A peculiar phenomenon in the sky has left many people perplexed and curious. Numerous videos circulating on social media show a luminous light accompanied by circular smoke, prompting viewers to question what they were witnessing. However, meteorologists have now shed light on the mystery, attributing the spectacle to the highly-anticipated SpaceX Falcon 9 Launch.

Viewers who captured the peculiar light on video have shared their footage with KSAT Connect, aiming to unravel the enigma. Each video showcases the radiant glow emitting a circular plume of smoke into the atmosphere. Experts have explained that this remarkable sight is due to a potential second-stage rocket burn or the release of Starlink satellites into orbit. This release, often referred to as the "jellyfish effect," becomes visible as the glowing object is illuminated by the setting sun.

According to sources, the rocket was launched from Cape Canaveral in Florida and subsequently orbited the Earth, passing over Texas during its journey. This trajectory made the SpaceX Falcon 9 Launch easily identifiable to observers in the region, giving rise to the flurry of videos and social media chatter.

Space enthusiasts and curious onlookers can now rest assured that the mystery of the strange light in the sky has been solved. The ethereal display was indeed the result of the highly successful SpaceX Falcon 9 Launch, which sparked awe and wonder among all those who caught a glimpse of the breathtaking phenomenon.
