Viral 'UFO' Over Epcot Prompts Questions as Experts Note Recent SpaceX Launches

The shaky, undated clip remains unverified despite plausible ties to nearby launch activity.

Overview

  • Visitor Morgan Huelsman recorded a bright orb above Disney World's Epcot while waiting for the nightly fireworks.
  • The Bobby Bones Show posted the video on Aug. 21, saying the light "was never moving" before it seemed to vanish.
  • Reporters highlighted SpaceX Starlink launches from Cape Canaveral on Aug. 14 and Aug. 18 as possible explanations about 60 miles away.
  • The footage offers limited detail, with an unsteady camera and no confirmed time stamp, leaving the object's motion uncertain.
  • Experts cite Florida's frequent launches and clear skies as common causes of misidentified aerial phenomena, and Disney has not commented.
