These strange-looking clouds were actually visible in multiple states and were the result of a rocket launch in Cape Canaveral, Florida.

Specifically, it was a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carrying 28 Starlink internet satellites.

According to Space.com, yesterday’s launch was the 130th Falcon 9 flight of 2025.
