Louis Tomlinson shares alarm as singer spots mystery object in the night sky - but do YOU know what it is?
The singer, 33, took to his Instagram Stories to share a video of the unusual object as he shared his alarm over the discovery.
With the sun setting in the background, a large white plume could be seen hurtling through the atmosphere.
Louis did not shy away from sharing his confusion as he filmed the bizarre occurrence.
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.
'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.

Superman director condemns DC Studios for its 'terrible' handling of Henry Cavill after announcing the actor's return as Man Of Steel - before handing role to David Corenswet
Superman director James Gunn has criticised DC Studios for its 'terrible' handling of Henry Cavill after the actor was told he would not be reprising his role as the Man of Steel. Gunn has overseen something of a renaissance for the beleaguered franchise, with his reimagining of Superman - starring relative newcomer David Corenswet - currently enjoying enormous box-office success. But Corenswet's appointment came after fan-favourite Cavill, who starred as the iconic superhero across five films, was told his services were no longer required. Recalling his uncomfortable conversation with the British actor during an appearance on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Gunn admitted the situation was worsened by DC Studios initially announcing his return. He said: 'It's terrible. Believe it or not, the day we were dealing with trying to figure out if we could take the job at DC Studios, the day the deal closed, all of a sudden, they were announcing that Henry was back.' Cavill, 42, had announced that he was set to reprise the role he first played in 2013 blockbuster Man Of Steel, only to reveal two months later that he wouldn't be part of the new DC Studios co-head's vision for the franchise. 'I'm like, what is going on? Like, we know what the plan is, the plan was to come in and do Superman,' said Gunn. 'That was really unfortunate, I'm like, this poor guy.' Cavill was released following a series of commercial misfires as the superhero, among them box office flop The Flash, released to poor reviews in 2023. But Gunn says he was impressed with how the actor handled the news after he and Superman producer Peter Safran told him he would not be returning to the franchise. He added: 'And so Peter and I [knew] the right thing to do is to sit down with [Cavill] and talk to him. And we sat down, we talked to him, he was an absolute gentleman, a great guy about it. 'He said, "The only thing I ask is that I'm able to reveal it myself as opposed to it coming from you guys." 'It was really unfair to him and was a total bummer.' Gunn explained there were external influences who 'wanted to take on what they wanted to do at DC and were trying to force their way and it just was never a part of the equation.' The filmmaker - who ultimately cast Corenswet in the title role of his Superman movie - was asked if it would be "too confusing" to recast Henry in a different DC Universe role, and he admitted he is keen to work with the Witcher star. Confirming his departure on social media in 2022, a gracious Cavill admitted he was blindsided by the news after initially being told he would retain the role He said: 'No, as another character? Absolutely not. I talked to him about it on that day. I would love to put Henry in something.' Confirming his departure on social media in 2022, a gracious Cavill admitted he was blindsided by the news after initially being told he would retain the role. 'I have just had a meeting with James Gunn and Peter Safran and it's sad news, everyone. I will, after all, not be returning as Superman,' he told Instagram followers. 'After being told by the studio to announce my return back in October, prior to their hire, this news isn't the easiest, but that's life. The changing of the guard is something that happens. I respect that. James and Peter have a universe to build. 'I wish them and all involved with the new universe the best of luck, and happiest of fortunes.' The actor went on to address, 'those who have been by my side through the years,' adding, 'we can mourn for a bit,' before addressing the future of the franchise. 'But then we must remember.... Superman is still around. Everything he stands for still exists, and the examples he sets for us are still there!' he said. 'Everything he stands for still exists, and the examples he sets for us are still there! My turn to wear the cape has passed, but what Superman stands for never will. 'It's been a fun ride with you all, onwards and upwards!'

Bride left furious after sister-in-law wears 'wedding dress' to her big day
A bride was left fuming after her sister-in-law wore a 'wedding dress' to her big day. Taking to the popular Reddit forum Wedding Shaming', an outraged guest shared photos of the woman in question, revealing a white, floor-length gown with floral detailing. Looking uncomfortably like a bride, the rebellious attendee claimed she was wearing a sage green dress in accordance with the dress code, which was 'pastel chic'. But the disgruntled bride was not happy, especially as her mother-in-law had already put in a request to wear white, which was denied. The poster wrote: 'The dress code was summer pastel chic, so think Easter colours. 'The girlfriend of the groom's brother wore a sage green (wedding) dress that in no way, shape or form appeared to be sage green, or any other colour. 'The veil she's carrying was the flower girl's (her daughter). This was after the mother-in-law had asked the bride if she could wear a white jumpsuit to the wedding, to which the bride obviously said no.' Aside from the colour, the design of the dress appeared obviously bridal - complete with off-the-shoulder sleeves and a romantic, figure-hugging silhouette. To further undermine the claim that the dress was 'sage green', the sister-in-law is pictured wearing sage green shoes, with which the white dress starkly contrasts. The post racked up thousands of comments and sparked a fiery debate, with many shocked on behalf of the bride. One commenter wrote, simply: 'Wow, that's very bridal,' to which another incredulous user responded: 'Yeah this is straight up a wedding dress.' Another comment dished out some seemingly obvious wedding guest advice, writing: 'To be safe, you should never wear any white dress to a wedding that is not yours. 'That being said, not all white dresses are wedding dresses. This is absolutely a wedding dress.' At first glance, the images tripped many commenters up before they realised what they were looking at. One said: 'I was like "Cool, so what does the sister-in-law look like?"' Another chimed in: 'Exactly what I was going to say. The poster clearly included pictures of the actual bride for comparison then forgot to add pictures of the offending sister-in-law… nope.' A third felt the same, saying: 'My thought before I read the title was, "wow what a beautiful detail shot of the bride and the tablescape"... some people are insane.' Although the rule of avoiding white on someone else's special day seems obvious enough, it is often broken. 'To be safer, as a bride, bring a paintball gun to your wedding,' advised one person. 'No white dresses but the bride. 'This policy will be enforced by the bride via paintball gun. If you do not wish to be painted, please do not wear a fresh white canvas.' Some eagle-eyed followers were quick to spot the difference between the sage green shoes and the supposedly green dress. 'I like how her SHOE was sage green,' said one. 'Like, she had a perfect example of what the color is supposed to look like. 'Instead she went about as white as you can go on the color wheel. Wtf. Who thinks this is appropriate?' A second joked: 'The dress looks like the smell of the color sage from another room.' While holding the flower girl's veil, the sister-in-law's nuptial look goes even further. The poster wrote: 'The flower girl is her daughter, but as a cherry on top: the daughter was also the ring bearer and was too nervous to walk down the aisle so guess who walked down with her? Mommy dearest.' The majority of commenters could not believe the 'insane' decision to wear 'a full on wedding gown,' but others sided with the guest. '"Summer Pastel chic" is simply asking for trouble,' wrote one. 'Honestly yes,' another agreed. 'So many pastels photograph white or look white under some lighting.' A third shared their own story, writing: 'I wore a bright yellow floaty pleated dress with a belt to a friend's wedding. It was so clearly bright yellow, I thought it was a safe choice. Nope! 'A lot of the evening photos were black and white. My dress looked like a wedding dress.' While the memo could be to blame, the comment section is unanimous in their belief that there is no lighting that could redeem the sister-in-law's poor outfit choice.
