China: Satellite Launch Illuminates Xi’an Sky

This is the breathtaking moment that a mysterious streak lit up the night sky, leaving a bright, long-tailed trail visible to local residents. On June 6, 2025, in Xi’an, Shaanxi, local residents captured video footage of an unidentified flying object slanting upward from the left horizon, trailing a luminous plume across the night sky. The streak appeared almost ethereal, expanded briefly, and then faded, captivating onlookers below. According to a report by People’s Daily, the remarkable light display had been caused by China’s successful launch of the Low-Earth Orbit Satellite Internet “04 group” from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center. The video ended with the glowing tail dissipating into the dark sky, leaving only faint wisps as the rocket continued its journey into orbit.
