I am curious are there any members that saw this?
A space satellite launch sparked a brief UFO scare in Los Angeles Friday night after startled viewers gawked at an unidentifiable streak of light soaring across the night sky.
Observers flooded Twitter with pictures and videos of the strange vessel and they speculated that aliens were finally making their long-awaited debut.
Anyone else see that #UFO in LA just now!?” tweeted one shaken resident. ‘WTF is that???
Others braced themselves for extraterrestrial visitation and chided non-believers for ever doubting the presence of life beyond the stars.
“Everyone is Downtown LA was pretty freaked out,” reported one witness on Twitter, adding that crowds cocked their heads skyward to view the phenomenon.
But to a mix of relief and disappointment, other Tweeters quickly debunked the UFO theory, noting that the jellyfish-shaped object was in fact part of Elon Musk’s SpaceX satellite fleet.
The Falcon 9 booster rocket – which carried 10 satellites – launched from Vandenburg Air Force Base around 5:30 p.m. California time en route to destinations across the globe.
‘Elon Musk just scared the f*** out of me!” tweeted one shaken Los Angeleno.
“For 10 minutes I was under the impression that the Aliens had finally come,” said another user in a tweet to the tech innovator. “It was kind of a letdown but still, thank you for the experience.”

Did the media let the public know beforehand? Seems like a rocket launch should be on the news.

ELON MUSK was responsible for that rocket launch. I believe he announced it ahead of time on his twitter account. Something was disabled on it so it would not be successful so that’s why it went sideways instead of up. Sounds like a conspiracy theory, but it’s not. If any of you have followed “Q” or “QAnon” on 4Chan,. 8Chan or on Twitter, or watched Youtube Videos about it, it is explained on there. I have been spending a lot of my spare time following what’s going on about what’s going on behinds scenes for years that the MSM has not been reporting on . Gov’t coverups. It has been slowly coming to light since QAnon started posting the info on 4Chan October 31st. Lots of CEO”S are resigning from their businesses because of it. Elon Musk is part of the problem and that will come out soon too. Anyway, even tho this came from a military base, it was thwarted by the Gov’t. Kind of hard to explain what’s going on except that it’s been going on for a long time and is part of the Deep State’s plans which President Trump is working to stop. It’s detailed on the internet…not the MSM.
