There were suggestions that the lights could be associated with the launch of a SpaceX rocket. It happened on the evening of April 1 at Vandenberg Space Force Base on the Central Coast.

Such launches often create brilliant scenes in the local sky. But this launch occurred around 7:30 p.m., long before the mysterious lights appeared.
By noon on April 2, SETI Institute experts said that the objects in the sky were the consequences of the landing of the Chinese orbital module Shenzhou-15. It was launched into space in November 2022 with three astronauts who spent six months at the Tiangong space station.
The module re-entered the Earth’s atmosphere on April 2.
