Chances are, your social media feeds on Thursday night probably included some pictures and videos of the night sky from the Pacific Northwest, thanks to scores of people there aiming their smartphones at a stunning yet mysterious light show unfolding high above them. They raced to capture video of … whatever this was, marveling at the display that looked like something truly dazzling and ethereal. “Ummm … just caught this flying over my home in SW Portland,” one Twitter user wrote. Tweeted another: “Shooting stars? Debris? Anyone else see this in Seattle just now?”
There was a bit of confusion and speculation at first about what was actually taking place -- if it was a meteor shower, for example, or some kind of space debris falling through the atmosphere. Plenty of people certainly caught sight of it, from Oregon to as far north as Canada, with video snippets posted across Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter. For now, the consensus seems to be that this was SpaceX rocket debris that people were seeing, according to info from authorities including the Seattle office of the National Weather Service.
