GALLERY: Viewers chime in with footage of April 14 SpaceX launch

WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA (WLOS) -- Early-morning sky watchers got quite a treat on April 14, as a bright object was seen streaking across the sky.

Many viewers sent in photos and videos to the WLOS Chime In feature on our website, and those viewers thought they were capturing a comet.

It turns out the object was a SpaceX launch. According to SpaceFlightNow.com, the launch was historic, as it was the 1,000th Starlink satellite sent into space so far this year.
