BREAKING: DOZENS of Comets/Meteors/Asteroids Spotted All Over US Skies

As usual, I’m going to bring you the truth about what we know so far on this topic and then let you decide what you want to make of it.

And the truth on this topic is the many different things in the sky have been filmed the past few weeks here in March 2026.

Some call them comets, some meteors, some asteroids, some UFOs, some SpaceX launches, some Weather Balloons, some Aliens….but the truth is that these sightings and clear videos are increasing at a noticeable rate, even if what they are remains unclear.

Dom Lucre posted 4 different videos from 4 different locations here:

Dom then added this 5th video:

So…what are they?

Community Notes on X say they are just SpaceX launches:

And Grok echoes that same answer, claiming they are just SpaceX launches:

SpaceX Launches Over Southern California

What are they?

These “meteors” over Los Angeles and Southern California that have gone viral this week are almost entirely SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launches, not actual meteors.

The original video from @dom_lucre (posted March 18, 2026) shows exactly that: a glowing ascent visible across SoCal. Dom himself later updated the post confirming it was the SpaceX Falcon 9 Starlink mission (Group 17-24) that lifted off from Vandenberg Space Force Base on March 16, 2026, around 10:16 p.m. PT, deploying 25 satellites. The launch was roughly 24–48 hours before many of the viral clips, and similar sightings lined up with prior launches on March 8 and 13.

They are Falcon 9 rockets carrying Starlink V2 Mini satellites into low-Earth orbit. The bright orange/white streak and long glowing tail is the rocket’s exhaust plume, illuminated by sunlight at high altitude or glowing from engine heat. These appear slow-moving and can last 20–45+ seconds, which is very different from real meteors that streak across the sky in 1–5 seconds and are usually white/blue.

SpaceX has been launching Starlink missions frequently from Vandenberg this month, with at least four so far in March and more scheduled for March 20 and beyond. This is routine and fully public.

 

Where are they “landing”?

Nowhere on land near populated areas.

  • The satellites: They stay in orbit as they are the point of the mission.

  • The booster: The reusable first-stage booster flies back and lands precisely on a SpaceX drone ship in the Pacific Ocean. There is no crash and no debris over California.

Real meteors mostly burn up completely in the atmosphere. Tiny fragments occasionally reach the ground as meteorites, but nothing like that has been reported or landed in LA this week.

Where are they coming from?

They originate from Vandenberg Space Force Base at the SLC-4E launch pad, approximately 150 miles northwest of LA. The rockets head west over the Pacific into polar orbits, which is why the bright plume is so visible from the LA area at night.

But what about actual meteors / fireball reports?

March is normally one of the slowest months for meteors with no major showers. The minor Gamma Normids peaked around March 14–15 with just a few per hour under dark skies.

The American Meteor Society (AMS) has logged dozens of “fireball” reports from California in mid-March 2026, including events around March 16–17 with long durations that match rockets exactly. These are almost certainly the same launch sightings being misreported. A separate real bright daytime fireball, possibly a small asteroid fragment, occurred over Ohio on March 17 with reports from multiple states and a sonic boom, but it is unrelated to California.

Bottom line

Nothing apocalyptic or mysterious is happening. SpaceX’s very frequent and successful Starlink launches from Vandenberg are just putting on a regular sky show that people keep mistaking for meteors. You can check the official Vandenberg launch schedule or SpaceX’s site for exact times of future ones; they are predictable and safe. No impacts, no unusual space activity, just rockets doing their job.

And that’s fine, except what happened in Ohio was not SpaceX.

Even NASA has admitted that was a meteor weighing roughly 17,000 pounds!

And SpaceX launches mainly in Texas and California, so why are so many other places seeing these too?

SOMETHING IS HAPPENING IN US AND NOBODY IS CONNECTING THE DOTS

The USA-Iran war started February 28, 2026.

The first fireball appeared on March 2.

Four days after the war began.

That is not a coincidence I’m willing to ignore.

📍 March 2, 2026 — Louisiana + 3 states: Orange fireball 50 miles up, seen across 4 states, caught on camera

📍 March 3, 2026 — Pacific Northwest: NASA-confirmed fireball at 100x speed of sound, sonic boom felt from Canada to Seattle

📍 March 11, 2026 — Northeast (12 states): 113 fireball reports in one night across the entire region

📍 March 17, 2026 — Ohio: 7-ton asteroid explodes with 250 tons TNT force, shockwave felt across multiple states

📍 March 17, 2026 — Texas (Dallas): Fireball seen changing direction mid-air, no official explanation yet

5 meteor strikes right when the war started?

This can’t be a coincidence. Something is definitely being hidden.

Could this be Iran attacking the U.S.?

They said their drones can reach the U.S… so maybe?

Some are convinced these may be missiles:

It’s not even confined to the US….

Here is one spotted above Turkey:

Grok even confirms known sightings in the past few weeks have included all of these events in all of these states:

Meteor and Fireball Sighting Claims (March 11–18, 2026)

Dozens of distinct videos (with hundreds of reposts/shares) claim meteor/fireball sightings; almost none are genuine comets.

Exact totals aren’t possible—X searches return limited samples, and viral events generate massive duplication—but keyword + semantic searches (covering March 11–18, 2026) plus cross-referenced reports show clear clusters of user-posted videos claiming personal sightings of streaking/fireball objects labeled as “comets” or “meteors.” Virtually all “comet” claims are misidentified meteors/fireballs (quick streaks from space rocks burning up; real comets drift slowly over days/weeks). No authentic naked-eye comet videos appear in recent X posts.

Key Events Driving the Videos

  • California (LA/SoCal area): Multiple posts (today, March 18) share videos claiming the “6th meteor/fireball this week.” Many use the same or similar clips; some community notes and context point to misidentified SpaceX Starlink/Falcon 9 launches visible as bright streaks.

  • Texas (Red Oak/Dallas area): At least 2–3 distinct videos (including one showing zigzag/up-down motion) posted and discussed as “anomalous meteors” or the “5th fireball this week.”

  • Ohio-centered major event (March 17): A confirmed ~7-ton asteroid fireball with sonic boom generated the most videos (dashcams, bus-garage cams, security cams from multiple angles). Viral examples include Northeast Ohio bus cam footage and Pickerington-area clips. This was widely visible and reported across many states.

  • Smaller related fireballs: (e.g., March 11 multi-state event) added a few more clips.

States Mentioned in Videos and Posts

The following list includes locations where users claim to have personally seen or filmed the objects, compiled from post text, referenced locations, and American Meteor Society-aligned reports:

  • California (primarily LA/SoCal multiple claims)

  • Texas (Red Oak/Dallas area)

  • Ohio (primary hub for March 17 event + others)

  • Pennsylvania (tied to March 17 event)

  • New York

  • Virginia

  • Maryland

  • Kentucky

  • Indiana

  • Illinois

  • Delaware

  • Michigan

  • North Carolina

  • New Jersey

  • West Virginia

  • Wisconsin

  • Connecticut

  • Massachusetts

  • Rhode Island

  • District of Columbia

  • Nevada

  • Oregon

Context and Analysis

The March 17 Ohio fireball alone was spotted across ~10–15 states (with videos mostly from Ohio/Pennsylvania but reports/secondary clips from the broader list). Earlier March 11 event covered many Northeastern/Mid-Atlantic states above. Some California/Texas clips are debated (rocket/UFO mislabels), but they still “claim” meteor sightings as asked.

If you’re looking for specific video links or a narrower focus (e.g., only verified AMS fireballs vs. all claims), let me know—I can dig deeper! Sky activity is normal this time of year (Gamma Normids shower + random bolides), but cameras everywhere make it look busier.

Anyone remember this?

It was only a few weeks ago that I brought you this report over Maui:

MUST SEE: Multiple UFOs Caught On Camera Over Maui

All credit to Christopher Greene on this one, reporting live from Maui and looking up at the sky to find....UFOs.

Multiple UFOs.

Look, I'm not here to tell you these are Alien UFOs filled with little green men, but I am here to tell you this is 2+ minutes of some of the clearest UFO footage I have ever seen.

And the way these are moving and rolling it is clear they are not planes, they're not drones, they're not satellites, and they're not weather balloons.

What are they?

I of course don't know for sure and couldn't know for sure, but I know these don't move and fly like anything we know about.

Watch here and see for yourself:
