GRANT COUNTY, Wash. —
Editor's note: The above video is from the previous reporting on rocket debris from the Falcon 9 causing streaking lights in the sky above the Puget Sound.
Debris from a SpaceX rocket has been recovered in Grant County Friday, according to a tweet from Grant County Sheriff Tom Jones.
Last week SpaceX debris caused a surprise light show over the Puget Sound and beyond as a Falcon 9 rocket burned up as it sped through the upper atmosphere. Long streaks of light appeared in the sky that could be seen from Seattle to Portland.
