"From the Bay Area to Lake Tahoe, Northern Californians saw a strange light illuminating the sky around 6 p.m. Wednesday. It was unique and remarkable enough to prompt social media users to claim it was, of course, aliens.

Others speculated it must have had something to do with a couple of other astronomic events planned for that evening: a rocket launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base in Santa Barbara County was postponed — or was it, some pondered? Three astronauts also undocked from the International Space Station around the same time the light appeared."
