I hope you were outside Sunday night, because that was one hell of a light show.
The lights in the sky a little before 7:30 pm were the result of the Falcon 9 rocket launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base.
Reminder to Southern California residents — you might hear a large sonic boom & see unusual sky formations tonight as @SpaceX launches a Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Air Force Base. Launch is scheduled for 7:21 pm PDT https://t.co/rU9OrMuBDn

It was pretty incredible. Here was my view of it from Palm Desert.
Here’s how it looked elsewhere:

The Verge has a pretty great post about how and why the rocket was launched that you can check out here.
