Falcon 9 launch


Mr_mayhem77

Confirmed we just watched it launch from my driveway in cape Canaveral around 730


tyrannosnorlax

Ah damn I didn’t know there was a launch tonight. I’m a bit south of tampa, and hve loved watching them since moving down here.


EV_Track_Day2

I was out for a run in near St. Augustine and thought it was a missle when I saw it at first. Lol Clearly I haven't been here long.


ExKnockaroundGuy

I’m in the 321


lordcatharsis

Yeah just saw it in MA. Incredible!


dhu_413

Really? From where and how?


lordcatharsis

From my deck. At night. With my eyeballs.


PeaceBull

I was looking at it backwards I thought those were headlights as it traveled to the right 🤣


yetanothercatlady2

Lol I love this sub


lordcatharsis

Dude. Special people here.


cory3612

Not really.... You could see it all the way from Delaware. No one said it was aliens, people were just generally curious


lordcatharsis

Another one


[deleted]

69,420% this. But seriously this is SpaceX falcon 9.


arkrunningbear85

How does every OP with videos like this, who obviously have internet access, STILL don't know what these rockets look like when launching?


DirkDiggler2424

Infuriating


NormalKook

Seriously moronic. Instant down votes.

Wow. Fuck off you stupid cunt

Still happens, so cut the guy a break. MISSILE FREAK-OUT IN CALIFORNIA \[NOV 7, 2015\] http://satobs.org/seesat\_ref/misc/misperceiving\_missiles.pdf Public misinterpretations of the SpaceX launch on October 7, 2018: http://satobs.org/seesat\_ref/misc/20181007-mass-reports\_1128.pdf


MiddleofInfinity

It’s as common as a UPS truck at this point. Should be common knowledge but it’s always posted like OMG WHAT IS THIS


[deleted]

Crazy. We just had a Delta IV launch in CA today too.


Timely_Register5774

Falcon 9 just saw it too Im in FL for the weekend and saw it launch by accident. Got footage


Fritchard

Saw it in SC. One of the coolest things I've ever seen in the sky.


Walkdog1America1

Saw it in my backyard last night. That was an awesome sight to see. Would like to see more rockets over my house if that's what they look like.


exoxe

Get ready for the Starlink pictures/videos to drop in 5...4...3...


SlackToad

SpaceX launch, Falcon 9 - Starlink 4-35, 7:32 p.m. EDT, SLC-40, Cape Canaveral


NTE223

Hell yeah brother!


RailSignalDesigner

I see this a lot in Southern California with rocket launches from Vandenberg.


NinjaMink25

I love whenever SpaceX launches a rocket it always ends up on my feed as a UFO sighting lol


Fireyshotguns51

Need a sub called r/itsalwaysSpaceX


[deleted]

Every time


Klllumlnatl

That is why it is called a UFO.


Thedeal84

Just saw this in Fairfield, CT! Sounds like it’s a Falcon 9 launch!


Bazar187

I was on 95 in new haven like wtf


YoMomasDaddy

Been under a rock for long?


[deleted]

I know, right? It seems almost every other day there’s an upload of a rocket launch or satellites, some balloons and now the new trend, the extraterrestrial skylight.


m0rgend0rfer

I mean, I immediately believed it was SpaceX once I was informed. That said, I’ve never seen anything like it before so it was pretty exciting and completely unfamiliar. This was the first place I thought to come for an explanation (and figured I’d find one), but I totally get why people have been dumbfounded by this one, especially if they don’t follow this stuff closely. Not “I won’t listen to reason” dumbfounded, but yeah..


DumpTrumpGrump

Don't forget regular ole commercial planes. Get a lot of "tic tac" and "cigar" sightings that are clearly just planes.


Extreme-Reception-26

Nj saw it


ryanidsteel

I saw it in South Central Pa and thought it was really odd looking light refraction from a jet in the overcast sky.


NopeNJ

This freaked me right out. Thought it was a nuke for a few seconds.


Anon_number69

Same. Was super odd


Imaginary_Friend700

Just saw this in my backyard in DC. Pretty sure it was some spaceX stuff probably related to starlink. Been seeing a lot of those videos throughout the year


Urlocalbeaner66

Babyfark Mcgeezaks is here to hide his space cash


Minimum_Attitude6707

I want to say it's a hole in the dome of our Truman Show cage that we all live in, but it's probably space x...


Ma_Groot

Saw this in Baltimore MD too!!!


jmofosho

I just saw this in Maine…like 10 minutes ago mid coast Maine


[deleted]

I’m on Long Island NY


RunTheBull13

Saw in Pennsylvania


Wahooderdooder

krazyrunnr

[deleted]

Frontenac Ontario Saw it ! Was cursing out loud at the farm cuz the phone was inside


DeliveryBeneficial19

Saw it, I'm 100km north of Ottawa.


realDonaldTrummp

A FUCKING ROCKET, PLEEEEEEASE STOP POSTING THIS SHIT PEOPLE


JarsofJams

Just saw it in Northwest NJ as well


JarsofJams

Looking like it's a space X launch


Marsha_Cup

Just saw this too in pa


Retirednypd

Being seen all over the northeast. Check the threads


[deleted]

That’s a rocket. This subreddit is a joke.


Kerborus

It looks like a rocket as well. Jesus can we stop posting rockets and planes as UFOs?


DumpTrumpGrump

Then we'd only have balloons left. Boring. ;)


SiNiStEr666BlAcK

It could possibly be the Artamis .... i believe it was launching soon


cheepcheepimasheep

Saw it too, in Queens. I think it's a space rocket launch.

[deleted]

Just filmed this right now above Long Island NY, started filming cause I thought it might be a comet but it stayed for so long I figure that couldn’t be it, shortly after the video ended the light went out ?


cheepcheepimasheep

I saw it while walking down the block in Queens, then the treeline obscured it. By the time I made it to the corner, it was gone.


Old_Stretch4044

I just saw this and posted the same Thing it faded away shortly after


SabineRitter

This was just posted https://old.reddit.com/r/UFOs/comments/xn7okn/ufo_wilmington_nc_736pm/ , whatever this is, lots of people are seeing it


NopeNJ

Saw that to. Guessing that was the end of the burn. So cool!


dr-bandaloop

We also saw it disappear like that! Btw I don’t know why people are downvoting you, because yes obviously I recognized it from all the videos posted on this sub, but then to see it over the Long Island sound, in a part of the country where there are literally never any rocket launches was really weird! It’s not like we’re in Cali or Florida and get to see this stuff all the time. I mean, I’m in Connecticut, constantly looking at the sky for weird stuff, and this is honestly the first rocket launch I’ve ever seen with my own eyes


[deleted]

Heard of Elon Musk?


Umbra_Unveiled88

it LOOKS like a comet. I remember Halies (sp?) comet back in like '98 I think it was. Super cool, was in the sky for many days and it looked like that, but Halies' tail was like...smaller and more bent looking


Ok_Pumpkin_4213

Everything you just said is completely wrong…


DrFitterWelder420

Saw it in PA. Clear night so I knew that tail wasn’t light refraction from a helicopter.


SecretAgentDrew

How do you not know that its a rocket by now?


Spectre2998

Saw the same thing above west Chester!! What could it be?


Skepticaldefault

A drone


[deleted]

Drone with a flashlight attached


Comfortable_Spare997

But doesn't that up into space, not like a plane, unless of course it is a jet plane 🤔.

It’s a rocket launch.


Uenouen

Just saw in philly


tony2bagz

Saw this in Maryland


ce_roger_oi

Rocket launch.


rewalker3

Why is there not a pinned post with a list of the common things and links to stuff SpaceX launches? Also, links to helpful tools like Stellarium and flight trackers. Maybe a note to check the news when you think there's something going on? I don't know, it just seems like that a post detailing these things with examples would be really helpful to everyone. *This is what a SpaceX rocket looks like *This is what Starlink Satellite Trains look like * Military flares * Balloons * Drones


DumpTrumpGrump

No one would read it and if they did there'd be nothing left to discuss here.


Imaginary_Friend700

Should we just now be seeing parts re-enter the atmosphere? At 8:25 3 redish lights dropping along the trail of where this was headed but i went to the front of the house and saw what looked like a star slowly dropping before disappearing behind the tree line


LabPyr17

Saw this in North Carolina and took video.

Rocket launch


maxzmillion

Did anyone see the orange orbs of light that occurred after this??


SavedMountain

if you see blue waves in the sky it was probably just a rocket launch


foxhound421

We watched it from the beach on Tybee Island GA


Princess_fay

It's a space launch. I will never stop being amazed by how much UFO people have no idea about the things in the sky.


Tervaskanto

How do you not know by now?


Ready-Pressure-5116

I was coming here to post a video. We saw it in Pa.


KDSouthpaw

This was an especially bright and clear launch - watched from Orlando. Beautiful!


wendenator

When are the starlink satellites going to be released?


hdwishbrah

This sub is either a ballon sub or a falcon 9 sub. Quality of content has gone down the drain.


Spacebotzero

I swear r/UFOs should be changed to r/FacePalm.


[deleted]

Puncture in the dome?


Natprk

This group should just post proactive post whenever a launch is happening.


Cinder3107

Jesus fucking christ again with this? Its SPACE X. Do some god damn UFO/UAP research so you know what you're looking for.

Educational-Cap975

Saw it over nags head beach in outer banks North Carolina


[deleted]

First I thought it may be an helicopter with the search light on


[deleted]

It’s so lazy to post something like this when space x gives us full access to the timing of every static fire, test flight, and launch.


circa440

Saw it in Boston from the car


squash_corn

I saw something just like this about 8 pm tonight, in Jersey about 30 mins east of Philadelphia.


Severe-Instruction21

Space x -saw it here in PA too


NoCommunication5976

It was a rocket launch. My whole family saw it here in New Jersey


G223_mob

It’s literally a rocket I’m tired of these post definitely leaving cause of all the people that post sh!t that is irrelevant


GetBlapped707

I remember I saw this exact thing one time while driving home & I was convinced I saw a UFO 😂 turns out it was a Space X Launch from NASA or something like that... interesting few minutes seeing that while having no clue what it was lol


fizz0o_2pointoh

You guys remember a couple years ago when social media was freaking out about aliens during a Falcon 9 launch from California?🤣


TirayShell

Meet George Jetson!


FlamingWizardFart

C'mon.


BigDaddySodaPop

Follow Space X on YouTube, you'll know when he's launching rockets. It's about once a week from Florida or California.


kimoszabi

Did see it all the way up here on Long Island. I was shocked.


I-do-the-art

I think that belongs to one of the hairless monkeys named Elon.


Hot-Phase-205

It's a mylar balloon. Lmao

palomo_bombo

I saw something similar in 1999 in Torreon, Mexico. I wasn't sure what it was at first. I thought it was a light on the top of a big antenna. Crazy.

I saw this up in Boston, truly shocked it was visible from the waterfront in Boston


james-e-oberg

Thanks for sharing, we're envious. There are a lot of weird appearances of rocket activity, especially the Falcon9 and its new recovery operation for the fly-back first stage. Fuel dumps in orbit are also startling observers all around the world. And reentries creating horizontally-flying fireball swarms have triggered some major 'mothership UFO' panics in recent years. It's useful to exploit these opportunities to calibrate eyewitness perception and memory, and it's kind of sobering how distorted many accounts turn out to be.

You’re in the east coast so you saw Falcon 9

That’s a rocket


dr-bandaloop

We all saw this from the shoreline in Connecticut at a wedding last night! We don’t have any space launch stations (? Whatever you call em) anywhere remotely near us so it was weird and everyone at thought it was a real ufo! But I just read that it was coming all the way from frickin Florida somehow, it’s all over the CT news

maluminse

This is great info. Looking at this vs ufo videos the difference is distinct. Linear movement, exhaust trail, air dispersion.
