Virginia rocket launch lights up early morning sky across Cape Fear

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — If you were awake early enough on Monday morning you may have seen a fireball streaking across the sky.
It turns out it wasn’t a meteor as some people assumed, but a rocket launch from Wallops Island in Virginia.
The rocket was originally scheduled to launch on Sunday, but was delayed until Monday morning.
This launch came just over a month after a different launch of a SpaceX rocket in Florida, which was also visible in the Cape Fear.
