we got tons of videos in our Newsroom late last night about a strange sighting in the sky turns out it was a SpaceX Falcon 9 launch according to casap meteorologist that plume that viewers saw might have been a second stage rocket burn or even the release of Starling satellites into orbit so that release is called the jellyfish effect and is visible because the Setting Sun illuminates it SpaceX said the rocket launched out of Cape canaval Florida then circled the Earth and passed over Texas maki
ng it easy to spot for us man we had a front row seat didn't we yeah lot of times in Rockets cuz that looks more like a almost like a smoke ring sometimes the starlink I've seen those and it comes out in a little chain to me it looks like and I'm not a rocket scientist but it looks like a booster separation of some sort yeah and and where maybe the the uh Second Stage rocket ignited and then made that plume around it so yep that's my theory and I'm sticking to it at least for now
