The concerned One Direction star captioned the video: ‘Honestly what the f**k is this???!’ 

But can you guess what the unusual object is?

It is believed to be the latest SpaceX rocket, which was launched from the Vandenberg Space Force Base in Southern California on Friday night.

According to local media, Elon Musk’s company launched its Falcon 9 rocket just before 9pm, with Louis joining many other locals in catching a glimpse of its take off.

Much similar footage was shared to social media at the time of the launch after Arizonians were warned they would be able to see the low-Earth orbit.

Dobbins Lookout, Papago Park, Fountain Hills and Cave Creek were some of the lookout points where the phenomenon was visible from. 

The rocket successfully added 24 new Starlink satellites from its Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.

Elon recently said that SpaceX’s ‘default plan’ was to ‘launch several Starships to Mars at the end of next year’.

These missions would also have no crews and would see if the vehicles could successfully land on Mars. 

The billionaire said he’s hoping his company will launch a total of five starships to Mars in 2026.

Elsewhere, Louis – who is dating Zara McDermott – announced this week that he was quitting the Elon-owned social media platform X due to ‘conspiracy chat’ about his personal life.

The musician said comments about his new relationship with Zara, his son and even his late mother Johannah Deakin have driven him off the social media platform.

Louis and former Love Island star Zara went public with their romance earlier this year after her split from Made In Chelsea star Sam Thompson. 

He referenced his son Freddie, eight, in the post shared to X as he confirmed his exit from the social media site – which is owned by Elon.

Louis shares Freddie with his ex Briana Jungwirth. The pair welcomed their son in 2016 following a brief fling.

Meanwhile, Louis tragically lost his mum Johannah in 2016 to leukaemia when she was just 43 years old. 

Louis penned in his post: ‘The last few months have made it impossible to be on here. 

‘All the conspiracy chat about my relationship, my son or even stretching sometimes to opinions on my Mum.

Louis said: ‘It’s just too much and too hurtful for me to see! Thank you to everyone who always has my back!’

Back in May, he had posted saying: ‘Haven’t really used this (X) much for a while. Seems to be such a weird place these days…

‘Anyway feeling really good about the next record. Staying positive.’

Louis and Zara’s relationship appears to be going from strength to strength, with the former Love Island star supporting him at his Zurich concert last week. 

In a TikTok video shared by user @katiexstyles, Zara could be seen singing and dancing along to one of Louis’ songs from a private box.
