Many people called the launch distracting and dangerous for drivers on the roads as people on other freeways also stopped or slowed down to see the mysterious streak in the sky.
Eyewitness News received hundreds of calls from viewers about the launch, with many of them pulled over on the side of the road in stop-and-go traffic.
