Mysterious 'UFO' spotted on Starship livestream sparks wild alien theories
Viewers watching SpaceX’s livestream spotted something bizarre trailing behind the spacecraft in the darkness of space.
About seven minutes and 55 seconds into the test flight, social media users zeroed in on a narrow, slightly curved streak of pale blue light with a brighter white tip.
Many X users shared screenshots of the mysterious object, with one user saying it 'looks like a mothership' and 'bigger than a city.'
'I think we all just saw a UFO live-streamed,' one user shared. Another X user replied: 'I couldn't believe my eyes. I'm glad it wasn't just me that saw it.'
Others wondered whether the object was NASA's International Space Station, although the footage offers no way to judge its size or distance.
While many users were baffled, Dean Scott chimed in, suggesting the streak was gas left behind by the Super Heavy booster as its engines shut down after separation and fired again for the return burn.
In his view, it appeared to rise because Earth’s bright horizon had initially hidden it.

But Scott’s explanation did little to quiet the alien theories.
‘The Greys are making sure all is ok,’ one X user commented, referring to the gray humanoid beings common in UFO lore.
Others tagged Elon Musk, with one asking: ‘Hey Elon, is this Mothership?’ Several users declared it was ‘definitely aliens.’
Engineer Kyle Holl connected the sighting to another scare during the flight: the unexpected shutdown of one of Starship’s engines.
‘Hmm, an engine out and then an alien battle cruiser uncloaks. Interesting,’ Holl posted.
Neither SpaceX or Musk have commented online about the mysterious object seen in the livestream.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
