I would say that the "fuzzy halo" around it looking like a "diabolo" is a give away it is not a plane. Leaves a rocket as the culprit?

The light you observed on February 27, 2026, at 5:47 PM PST was most likely the Firefly Alpha rocket launching on its "Stairway to Seven" mission.
Launch Details
- Rocket: Firefly Alpha (Flight 7).
- Company: Firefly Aerospace.
- Location: Launched from Space Launch Complex 2W at Vandenberg Space Force Base, CA.
- Visibility: Because the launch occurred just after sunset, it created a "Twilight Phenomenon" effect. While it was dark on the ground in Lancaster, the rocket's exhaust plume was high enough to be illuminated by the sun, causing the brilliant, glowing "jellyfish" display common with Southern California launches.
Why Not SpaceX?
While SpaceX did launch a Falcon 9 on February 27, that mission (Starlink 6-108) took place at 4:16 AM PST from Cape Canaveral, Florida, making it invisible from California in the evening. The next SpaceX launch from Vandenberg isn't scheduled until March 1st.

It was 5:47 AM, not PM.
And more to the point, that rocket still sits firmly on the ground here on Earth despite what the AI believes. The mission was delayed by inclement weather conditions, it's currently slated to launch in about 14 hours from now.
My bad, better double and triple check what the AI hallucinates.
