For Pete's Sake

Chiefs player either saw an Unidentified Aerial Phenomena ... or SpaceX Starship explosion

Something mysterious was in the skies over Georgia.
Something mysterious was in the skies over Georgia.

The latest SpaceX test flight ended with the Starship’s “rapid unscheduled disassembly,” according to the Associated Press.

In other words, the Starship exploded.

People in Florida shared video of debris of the Starship streaming back to Earth, and it made for quite a sight.

Were the remnants of the spacecraft also viewable in the late afternoon sky in Georgia? Possibly, because Chiefs defensive back Joshua Williams said he saw something while driving in the Peach State.

“I just saw a UAP in GA on I-95,” Williams wrote.

UAP stands for Unidentified Aerial Phenomena and might be the preferred nomenclature instead of a UFO.

Williams added: “I promise I’ll delete the tweet if needed. Don’t take me out” He hasn’t deleted it.

Because it’s 2025, someone asked if Williams had taken video. Here is what he shared on X of what he saw in the sky (and let’s hope it wasn’t taken while he was behind the wheel).

Is that a UFO, er, UAP or the remnants of the SpaceX explosion? I’ll let you make up your own mind.
