NASA says it successfully launched a rocket in Virginia as part of an experiment, and the blast may have caused dozens of people to report seeing strange lights in the sky.

About the time of the launch, dozens of people in the Northeast started calling local television stations to report seeing strange lights.

Move on, nothing to see. It's only a weather balloon.
