WHAT JUST LAUNCHED?

[pmclaine]

Commute to work, 0610 hrs EDST.

Northeast, Central Massachusetts observation point with observed vehicle in East.

A good sized rocket heading from South to North.

Never saw anything like it.

Was probably in stage separation, tail brightened than grew large, before smaller payload part continued North.

We dont usually see anything from Canaveral up here in the east....than again I havent gone out and tried to see anything from Canaveral in the past.

Wonder exactly how this Starlink is going to take away more of my freedom when its up and running?

Saw the "train" of his satellites last summer....really odd to see....news is he has rearranged the solar panels so they will not be as reflective/visible anymore.

Careful...you'll have the FBI giving you the TWA 800 treatment. What you saw was an optical illusion.

Somebody practicing for their 4th of July party Joe Biden might allow us to have?

Yep.

Here's a screen cap that shows the launch trajectory heading northeast along the Atlantic coast -

Anyone interested can watch a replay of the launch podcast here.

I must have saw Stage 2 deploying.

Some Facebook pages showing up with pictures. Wish I had had my camera with was kind of spectacular with dawning sky.
