West Palm Beach, United States - March 06, 2025 Residents across South Florida were left gobsmacked last night as dazzling lights tore through the dark sky. Wondering what that bright light was? It was SpaceX’s Starship, launched on its eighth test flight from South Texas, breaking apart and raining debris over the Sunshine State. According to CNN, the rocket was carrying a Starlink satellite when disaster struck. The Martin County Sheriff’s Office confirmed the spacecraft suffered a breakup mid-flight. Video shared with CBS12 News captured the jaw-dropping moment, showing fiery chunks plummeting like meteors. Another clip from Hobe Sound revealed burning balls of light streaking across the heavens. SpaceX hailed a “successful Super Heavy booster catch,” but the triumph was short-lived. Contact with the spacecraft was lost just minutes into the mission. The goal? Reignite a Starship engine in space and deploy “mock satellites.” Yet, it all went pear-shaped, echoing the last test in January when the craft exploded over the Caribbean, smashing a car and scattering debris across populated islands. Upgrades were meant to stop a repeat fiasco, but last night proved otherwise. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) scrambled to respond. Flights at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood and Palm Beach International Airports are back on track, though Miami International Airport still faces delays thanks to the cosmic clutter. The Martin County Sheriff’s Office was flooded with calls, especially from Palm Beach Gardens, as locals gawped at the spectacle. The FAA has grounded flights in the area until 8 PM as a precaution. No drones, UFOs, or alien invasions here—just SpaceX’s latest mishap. Video evidence from Hobe Sound backs up the sheriff’s reports. Officials are keeping a close eye on the fallout. For now, South Floridians can only marvel at the fiery show—and hope no debris lands in their backyards. We’ll keep you posted as this sky-high drama unfolds.
