On March 25, 2021, residents of Washington state witnessed a bizarre "explosion" of sorts in their night skies. The firey show started as one long streak of light making its way to Earth, and then it broke off into multiple different parts.
Reports have said that the phenomenon is most likely space debris breaking into the Earth's atmosphere. Authorities have not been able to explain what fell from space or where it went.
The weirdest part about this is that the debris was not initially caught on any space radars and that no one was warned of the impending collision. The US space defense command did not warn anyone of the sky show.
There's no shortage of footage from this incredible sky show. It almost looks like a bunch of rockets flying over the skies!

Naturally, there is debate over whether or not this was "alien," but that conversation has been quickly nipped in the bud. It's obvious that something reentered the atmosphere and broke up into hundreds of little pieces.
Hopefully, they will be able to find out where this crash-landed to see what was flying through the sky! Right now, it's believed to be debris from the Falcon 9 rocket launched by SpaceX on March 4th.
