No, aliens were not flying above California on Friday night. But what were those lights?
A spectacular string of lights that appeared over San Francisco on March 17, 2023, was caused by space debris reentering Earth’s atmosphere, experts said.The beautiful and dramatic string of lights that streaked across the sky starting after about 9:30 p.m. was the result of burning space debris reentering Earth's atmosphere, experts say.
Gerald McKeegan, an adjunct astronomer at Chabot Space & Science Center in Oakland, wrote in an email to SFGATE that the debris was retired equipment from an old Space Shuttle mission to the International Space Station."Satellites or spacecraft hardware left behind from old missions may eventually re-enter the Earth's atmosphere after many years in a slowly decaying orbit," McKeegan said.
