Jeff Watters said he captured this video of the bright objects moving across the Sacramento sky at 9:31 pm, local time. “Almost looked like a bunch of slow shooting stars or some strange lights,” Watters wrote on Twitter.

Astronomer Jonathan McDowell said the bright lights were likely caused by a “Japanese inter-orbit communications system” that had burnt up during re entry to the atmosphere. Small debris may have reached the Yosemite area, local news reported. Credit: Jeff Watters via Storyful
