Atlanta UFO Sighting? The Strange Light Over the Skyline This Morning Has an Explanation

Atlanta woke up to something wild this morning — a glowing, jellyfish-shaped light hanging over the downtown skyline, and social media immediately started screaming UFO. FreddyO caught it on camera over the city (Bank of America Plaza lit up in the frame) — see the photo below.

Here’s what it actually was: a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from Cape Canaveral, Florida at 6:33 AM this morning (Tuesday, October 13) on the CRS-35 mission, carrying a Cargo Dragon loaded with roughly 6,500 pounds of supplies headed for the International Space Station.
