OCEANSIDE, CA — Patch reader Chris Ellis captured this photo of the sky over Oceanside a few days ago. An Alpha rocket launched from Vandenberg Space Force Base by Firefly Aerospace and lit up the sky over coastal San Diego County.

"This interesting view is over the Oceanside Golf Course lounge," Ellis said. "Great golf, food and drink, and the friendliest staff around."
