The rocket carried 10 satellites, and all of them were successfully deployed within one hour and 12 minutes after the liftoff. This launch was the 18th and final Space X launch in 2017.
As the video of the mysterious lighting in the skies went viral, Space X founder Elon Musk sarcastically posted in his Twitter handle that it is a nuclear alien UFO from North Korea.
