The Pacific Northwest was showered with streaks of light from likely SpaceX debris on March 25.

Astronomer Jonathan McDowell at the Center for Astrophysics wrote on Twitter: "The Falcon 9 second stage from the Mar 4 Starlink launch failed to make a deorbit burn and is now reentering after 22 days in orbit.

Its reentry was observed from the Seattle area at about 0400 UTC Mar 26." The filmer said: "My husband had just taken some trash out and I followed soon after.

I heard him yell “RAAUULLL!!

HURRY!

RUN!” I thought he hurt himself so I ran to him.

He told me to look up and that’s when I saw it.

I thought a plane had exploded."
