Mysterious bright light over Palm Springs is from SpaceX rocket launch

By Thomas A. Smith

A flash of bright light over Palm Springs had social media buzzing Friday evening, but don't fret, it's not an alien attack. 

All indications are that the light is coming from the launch of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket that took off from Vandenberg Air Force Base near Santa Barbara.

We saw this here in Jamul, up the sky to the NW.
