The light grabbed the attention of Granite Staters and filled up the internet with people guessing what it was.
"Pure excitement honestly. Just so stoked to see stuff. We always see weird things in the sky, usually drones that have lights on then disappear. But, I've never seen anything like that before," said Avion Erceg from Plymouth.
The SpaceX Falcon 9 Starlink launched from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida just after 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, according to the FAA.
"It was beautiful. I didn't think it was a comet, it was too close. If it was, we'd all be in trouble haha," said Kim Dwinell from Lincoln.
What people saw just got them more excited about exploring the great depths and possibilities of space.
"Being a huge Star Trek fan from back in the day I have the Gene Rodenberry view that space is good and space exploration is good and hopefully the aliens will be our friends," Dwinell said.
