The truth really was out there: it wasn’t aliens.
The South Korean military launched a test flight for a rocket Friday evening, as part of ongoing efforts to put more spy satellites into orbit to bolster the country’s space-based surveillance. Due to national security considerations surrounding the mission, the military did not inform the public of the launch in advance.
And as a result, many onlookers on the ground experienced a brief scare, mistaking the rocket for a UFO or a North Korean missile headed for its southern neighbors. South Koreans witnessed a white-to-red coil of vapor moving through the sky behind a bright object. The military disclosed the true nature of the launch later in the evening.
