The launch of the SpaceX rocket causes a stir on social networks in Southern California







          

          

          

          Social networks went into frenzy in Southern California on Sunday night after strange lights appeared to cross the afternoon sky.

          
The launch of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket on Sunday night with an Argentine satellite caused some confusion in social networks over a bright light traveling through the southern sky of California. 
Viewers flocked to social networks to speculate about the rocket, which was launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base, which is about 130 kilometers northwest of Los Angeles. Depending on the point of view of the spectators, the light looked like a comet or had some clouds around it. One commentator compared the brightness with the aurora borealis.
"Strange things in the sky over Los Angeles tonight if you live in the area, look," wrote a Twitter user. "Ball of light with what looks like a tail or artificial light that emits".
The main goal of Sunday's mission was to place the SAOCOM 1A satellite in orbit, but SpaceX also successfully sent a first-stage reinforcement to the base for the first time.
SpaceX has previously landed first-stage rockets on the ground after the launch of Florida, but had not landed on the west coast.
The satellite is the first of the two for the Argentine space agency. It carries a high-resolution instrument called synthetic apposition radar that will be used for emergency management and land monitoring.
Last week, the Air Force informed residents on the central coast of California that they could see multiple motor burns in the first stage and hear one or more sonic explosions as they returned.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.
