Light Up the Night
Jul. 3rd, 2024 05:31 amI don't think I have the software to take clips from our security cameras, but something just fell out of the sky to the east, and there's still a big, lit-up cloud over there.
I thought there weren't any Falcon launches this week. Is it space crap? Meteor? Did someone nuke Middleburg? (Okay, that last one is extremely unlikely.) Might send this to Fox's friend Jeremy - he seems to know literally everyone in the county and typically knows what's going on.
Stay tuned for that clip though. I'll post it as soon as I can figure out how to save it.
Update - it was a Falcon9 launch! They just don't usually launch in a northward-ish direction so we typically don't see them. So what I saw was the booster falling back to earth, and at that time of the morning, the sun lit up the trail. It also explains why I could see "pieces" falling off the main blob. I didn't realize we had one this morning, and thought the next launch was like ... next week.
Still haven't got the clip but I'll also speed it up when I do get it.
