Mystery solved: Object lights up sky over Southwestern United States

A US Strategic Command spokeswoman says a streak of light seen flying in the sky by dozens of people in Nevada, California and Arizona was a re-entry from a rocket that was launched a few days ago.

Dozens of people took to social media to share videos and photos of a white fireball flying through the sky that some described as a shooting star.

Others wondered if it was a meteor breaking up on re-entry or space debris from a satellite.
