South Carolina residents witnessed a spectacular cone-shaped jet trail across the pre-dawn sky around 5 a.m. on Saturday. Multiple photos received by News19 suggest the trail was from a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launch from Cape Canaveral, Florida, at 5:01 a.m., deploying 28 Starlink satellites. The launch also involved the reusable rocket stage landing on a droneship, marking its 22nd flight.
