Jeff Watters and his friends weren't sure what to think of the streaking lights that dashed across the Sacramento night sky late Friday.
About seven meteor-like blazes appeared to dart by around 9:30 p.m., diverting attention from ongoing St. Patrick's Day revelry, as evidenced by video that Watters took.
"It looked crazy," Watters said in a written statement to The Times. "We thought maybe it was some Starlink or SpaceX thing or something, but that didn't really make sense."
