LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - Dragons are not real and don't breathe fire, right? Yes and no, a fire-breathing dragon capsule was really seen Tuesday night.
The SpaceX Dragon Freedom Capsule returning to Earth is what many Arkansans heard and saw streaking across the Arkansas sky.
After an eight-day research mission on the international space station, the capsule landed off the Florida coast just after 10 p.m.
Many from across the state captured video of the capsule flying through the sky, including one family who witnessed it in Hot Springs.
The Parker family says they are able to laugh about it now when as it is happening as they were wondering "What the heck is that?"
Stacy Parker was recording as the SpaceX Dragon capsule flew over her home. Her daughters Addley and Jaxley both can be heard repeatedly asking Stacy "Is it going to kill us?"
"I thought it was a meteor, plane or a nuke," fourth-grader Addley said. Her little sister Jaxley said she thought the same thing.
