Country music singer Randy Houser's performance was recently interrupted by an unidentified object. Houser later took to social media to share the moments when the rocket sailed across while he was performing at Temecula Stampede. The rocket had a teardrop shape and a long train of light, which left the crowd, along with Randy, stunned.

In an Instagram post uploaded later on, Randy Houser wrote a caption, which read:

"Does anybody know what this is flying over our show?"

He further tagged NASA and SpaceX, looking for answers. Fans too expressed their opinions on the situation soon. One wrote:

"Pretty sure that's Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck still trying to dig 800 feet."

Along with Randy Houser, Sammy Hagar also shared his thoughts on witnessing the phenomenon

While country singer Randy Houser posted on Instagram about a similar strange-looking rocket passing over his stage, recently, another celebrity too spoke about the same phenomenon. American musician Sammy Hagar uploaded a video on Instagram with the object in the sky in a teardrop shape.

In the video, while fans could see the object, Hagar's voice could also be heard in the background, where he said:

"Look at this sh*t! What in the hell is that!? It's obviously a rocket ship."

He further wrote in the caption:

"OK, this s–t just happened around 8:55 in my Southern California sky. This is no bulls–t. This is a freaking rocket launch. Check the two bright dots in its wake."

Hagar added:

"Those were two jets or whatever following it. How f—ing fast was this thing going and how can those two jets keep up? I just read it was a launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base."

Meanwhile, it is important to take into account a confirmation provided by SpaceX previously. On their official website, they stated that there would be a Starlink launch on two dates: June 23 and June 27. There is a possibility that what several fans and the two celebrities witnessed was the June 27 event.

On June 23, the Starlink launch happened at about 7.14 pm local time, from Cape Canaveral in Florida. It is usually possible to locate the flash of satellites caused by reflections of the Sun while they transverse to the lower orbit of our planet.

Therefore, this possibly was the same rocket that Randy Houser witnessed over his stage and Hagar saw in his neighborhood.


Randy Houser's next show is scheduled for July 6, in Paris at the Rivers 'n' Roots Music Festival. He has a wide range of performances listed in several cities including Yerington, Auburn, and Baraboo.
