Die einen dachten an einen Science-Fiction-Film, andere befürchteten Krieg: Mysteriöse Leuchtstreifen über Deutschland haben zahlreiche Menschen erstaunt und in Sorge versetzt. Das Weltraumkommando der Bundeswehr gibt Entwarnung.
In February 2025, residents across Germany reported seeing bright light trails in the night sky, sparking over 100 calls to a UFO reporting center. The phenomenon was initially mistaken for UFOs or a sci-fi scenario. The German Space Command later identified the light trails as debris from a SpaceX Falcon-9 rocket booster, which re-entered Earth's atmosphere after being launched on February 1st. The booster, part of a routine mission, was visible over Germany as it broke up upon re-entry, causing no damage.
