Lights over San Joaquin, 2026: a reader’s clip

A short clip posted by a Reddit user shows a faint point of light in the night sky. The poster says the lights were seen over San Joaquin, California, at about 9:30 p.m. on March 18, 2026. At first, they appeared to resemble a satellite train, the poster says, but later some seemed to change direction. The poster also reports hearing a boom-like sound beforehand and seeing car alarms go off.

The filmed frame does not provide enough detail to verify the account or identify the object. The poster raises Starlink as a possibility, but the clip does not confirm that the lights were satellites or establish another identification.
