People in the central United States were amazed Saturday evening when they saw a bright fireball blaze across the night sky. After a few days of mystery, astronomers have reported that the fiery streak was a Starlink satellite re-entering Earth's atmosphere.

Eyewitness' video in Texas appears to show a SpaceX Starlink satellite falling apart over the sky.

Falling Starlink satellites shocked stargazers across the United States over the weekend. In four minutes, the de-orbiting satellite shot across the U.S., from Washington to Texas. It caught many off guard who tried to figure out what it was.
