Interupted Star Trail

I went to my sisters in Maine where it's VERY dark at night just a few days after the new moon. My plan was to create a star trail over the center of her house. I got my gear all set up and let it run all night until the batteries went dead. Got up early the next morning to see how I made out and found a UFO in my group of photos. I had no idea what it was. Very long story short, it was the booster from the SpaceX's Global-star 2R mission out of Cape Canaveral flying thru the sky in the middle of my shoot, one in a million.
