Did you see it?

The Internet is lighting up over a bright light seen in the sky above SoCal Friday night. No, it wasn’t Santa (he comes in a few days), it was the contrail from the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base this evening, according to the LA Times.

It made for some cool pics and vids…

Burning out his fuse up there alone. #Falcon9 #rocketman
