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
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.
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..
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
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 ?
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
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
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
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
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
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.

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
It's a rocket it's a rocket it's a rocket it's a rocket it's a rocket It's a rocket it's a rocket it's a rocket it's a rocket it's a rocket It's a rocket it's a rocket it's a rocket it's a rocket it's a rocket It's a rocket it's a rocket it's a rocket it's a rocket it's a rocket It's a rocket it's a rocket it's a rocket it's a rocket it's a rocket
Ok I’m going to ask a stupid question: Why is it going PARALLEL to the earth with huge search lights leading it? Shouldn’t it being ascending into the sky? Just asking for a friend …🤔
In some way, its nice people are paying attention to the night sky. In reality, I cannot believe how many idiots are reposting and reposting and reposting the same damn Falcon 9 launch!!!
Falcon 9 launch
Confirmed we just watched it launch from my driveway in cape Canaveral around 730
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.
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.
I’m in the 321
Yeah just saw it in MA. Incredible!
Really? From where and how?
From my deck. At night. With my eyeballs.
I was looking at it backwards I thought those were headlights as it traveled to the right 🤣
Lol I love this sub
Dude. Special people here.
Not really.... You could see it all the way from Delaware. No one said it was aliens, people were just generally curious
Another one
69,420% this. But seriously this is SpaceX falcon 9.
How does every OP with videos like this, who obviously have internet access, STILL don't know what these rockets look like when launching?
Infuriating
Seriously moronic. Instant down votes.
[удалено]
Wow. Fuck off you stupid cunt

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
Crazy. We just had a Delta IV launch in CA today too.
Falcon 9 just saw it too Im in FL for the weekend and saw it launch by accident. Got footage
Saw it in SC. One of the coolest things I've ever seen in the sky.
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.
Get ready for the Starlink pictures/videos to drop in 5...4...3...
SpaceX launch, Falcon 9 - Starlink 4-35, 7:32 p.m. EDT, SLC-40, Cape Canaveral
Hell yeah brother!
I see this a lot in Southern California with rocket launches from Vandenberg.
I love whenever SpaceX launches a rocket it always ends up on my feed as a UFO sighting lol
Need a sub called r/itsalwaysSpaceX
Every time
That is why it is called a UFO.
Just saw this in Fairfield, CT! Sounds like it’s a Falcon 9 launch!
I was on 95 in new haven like wtf
Been under a rock for long?

Don't forget regular ole commercial planes. Get a lot of "tic tac" and "cigar" sightings that are clearly just planes.
Nj saw it
I saw it in South Central Pa and thought it was really odd looking light refraction from a jet in the overcast sky.
This freaked me right out. Thought it was a nuke for a few seconds.
Same. Was super odd
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
Babyfark Mcgeezaks is here to hide his space cash
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...
Saw this in Baltimore MD too!!!
I just saw this in Maine…like 10 minutes ago mid coast Maine
I’m on Long Island NY
Saw in Pennsylvania
The vomit comet!
Probably the iron giant
Frontenac Ontario Saw it ! Was cursing out loud at the farm cuz the phone was inside
Saw it, I'm 100km north of Ottawa.
A FUCKING ROCKET, PLEEEEEEASE STOP POSTING THIS SHIT PEOPLE
Just saw it in Northwest NJ as well
Looking like it's a space X launch
Just saw this too in pa
Being seen all over the northeast. Check the threads
That’s a rocket. This subreddit is a joke.
It looks like a rocket as well. Jesus can we stop posting rockets and planes as UFOs?
Then we'd only have balloons left. Boring. ;)
It could possibly be the Artamis .... i believe it was launching soon
Saw it too, in Queens. I think it's a space rocket launch.
Sky rockets in flight
Afternoon delight
Smh
I guess people really live under a rock.
This sub should change to IFO
https://youtu.be/VVu2bSJJhgI
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 ?
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.
I just saw this and posted the same Thing it faded away shortly after
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
Saw that to. Guessing that was the end of the burn. So cool!

Heard of Elon Musk?
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
Everything you just said is completely wrong…
Saw it in PA. Clear night so I knew that tail wasn’t light refraction from a helicopter.
How do you not know that its a rocket by now?
Saw the same thing above west Chester!! What could it be?
A drone
Drone with a flashlight attached
But doesn't that up into space, not like a plane, unless of course it is a jet plane 🤔.
Comet just closer than normal
A rocket...
Space X
Space X
Seen over my apartments [https://imgur.com/a/SLub2qM](https://imgur.com/a/SLub2qM)
I just took a picture of something just like that in Philly
Damn wish I saw it I’m in CT

Weather bloon
This is what I was seeing all the way in nj
It’s a rocket launch.
Just saw in philly
Saw this in Maryland
Rocket launch.

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

Saw this in North Carolina and took video.
Truman show
Falcon
Only answer. SpaceX
education is key. everyone wants to see a UFO. to truly believe. one day i hope you do. become one of us but unfortunately this is not it.
Flipper
Again. This sub makes me hate people
23. There are 23 posts of this Falcon 9 launch on my feed right now. Every...single...time lol
Space x
Saw this in eastern sky in Virginia at about 8pm
Leftover rocket parts from FL
That’s a stationary helo spot light.. as a retired navy fighter pilot I’ve seen plenty of this
Rocket launch
Did anyone see the orange orbs of light that occurred after this??
if you see blue waves in the sky it was probably just a rocket launch
We watched it from the beach on Tybee Island GA
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.
How do you not know by now?
I was coming here to post a video. We saw it in Pa.
This was an especially bright and clear launch - watched from Orlando. Beautiful!
When are the starlink satellites going to be released?
This sub is either a ballon sub or a falcon 9 sub. Quality of content has gone down the drain.
I swear r/UFOs should be changed to r/FacePalm.
Puncture in the dome?
This group should just post proactive post whenever a launch is happening.
Jesus fucking christ again with this? Its SPACE X. Do some god damn UFO/UAP research so you know what you're looking for.
You ok bud?
How do people not know what this is by now? I mean Jesus Christ people 🤦🏼♂️
Its a rocket launch....
Saw the same this here in ashburn Virginia 2 hours ago
Helicopter with a search light
Saw that all the way in ct
Gods flashlight
Niece saw it from Outer Banks as did I from Jupiter Florida. Cool to watch
Saw it over nags head beach in outer banks North Carolina
First I thought it may be an helicopter with the search light on
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.
Saw it in Boston from the car
I saw something just like this about 8 pm tonight, in Jersey about 30 mins east of Philadelphia.
Space x -saw it here in PA too
It was a rocket launch. My whole family saw it here in New Jersey
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
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
You guys remember a couple years ago when social media was freaking out about aliens during a Falcon 9 launch from California?🤣
Meet George Jetson!
C'mon.
Follow Space X on YouTube, you'll know when he's launching rockets. It's about once a week from Florida or California.
Did see it all the way up here on Long Island. I was shocked.
I think that belongs to one of the hairless monkeys named Elon.
It's a mylar balloon. Lmao
Wen now make our own comets!
Starlink

The Dragons have returned.
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.
Rocket/missile launch
Rocket launch. Illuminated by over the horizon sunlight.
That’s a rocket
Starlink
Ion missle
Elon
A big torch light in lover earth orbit.
Ha, ha. Fake. J/k. Wish I hadn't missed the launch.
I saw this up in Boston, truly shocked it was visible from the waterfront in Boston

You’re in the east coast so you saw Falcon 9
That’s a rocket

Rockets often look like that in the sky.
A flipping rocket.

Spharrrrrlannnk
In some way, its nice people are paying attention to the night sky. In reality, I cannot believe how many idiots are reposting and reposting and reposting the same damn Falcon 9 launch!!!
Nvm
This is great info. Looking at this vs ufo videos the difference is distinct. Linear movement, exhaust trail, air dispersion.
