PHILADELPHIA - An eerie glow in the night sky Saturday wasn't a UFO but a high-tech NASA experiment.

The light show only lasted a few minutes, but it could be seen up and down the east coast.

NASA said it will use the measurements to better understand the clouds and how rocket exhaust affects the atmosphere.
