Was it a meteor shower over South Florida? A plane on fire? Something extraterrestrial? People in South Florida looked to the sky Thursday night and wondered what the fiery, falling streaks were. After the SpaceX launched its Starship rocket Thursday evening from Texas, on its eighth flight test, it “experienced a rapid unscheduled disassembly and contact was lost,” the company said in a post on X.
