May 6, 2026, 10:19 p.m. ET A series of cone-shaped UFOs reportedly illuminated the night skies over a Canadian province Tuesday night, sparking widespread curiosity and speculation. While many residents wondered if the wild objects over British Columbia had otherworldly origins — scientific experts believe the terrestrial spectacle was likely just a SpaceX rocket deployment. Malhar Kendurkar, of the Prince George Astronomical Observatory, told CBC Radio he saw the object and he was certain the light was a “jellyfish effect” resulting from the Falcon 9 rocket that launched around 9 p.m. from the Vandenberg Space Force base in California Tuesday evening.
