The Starlink satellite reentry sparked at least 62 fireball reports to the American Meteor Society, which shared images and photos of the event by witnesses. In one video, captured by observer John Aubert of Crystal Lake, Illinois, the fireball streaks over the roof of a home and trees.

The Falcon 9 launched 21 Starlink satellites — including 13 with direct-to-cell communications capabilities — from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
