UFO seen over Florida sky.

Meteor? Rocket? Some claim it's Atlas 5 rocket.

That is the Atlas V rocket.

"UFO-like"? Darn it, too many people don't actually use that word correctly.

In this case, more like "sperm" or "tadpole". Nothing about it is unidentified, it's not actually flying, it's floating, but it is an object.

But...it is Bender approved:

Uh...it's not really bizarre or unidentified. This is most definitely the Atlas V rocket.

Uh...it's not really bizarre or unidentified. This is most definitely the Atlas V rocket.

So in other words it shouldn't have been posted at all.

This section is described as: "Weird and unusual news stories That just do not fit anywhere else". A story does not have to be related to the "inexplicable", but with the strange, So I disagree.

How on Earth does identifying an unknown mean that it slhould not have been posted at all? Of course it should have been posted, it's just that now it's been identified as the Atlas V rocket.

You're not nobody to say that. As long as it is not inappropriate / offensive content (or repeated thread), members can post whatever they want.

Agreed. My bad.

To be fair, the guy who had repeated this thread was trying to sell this as UFO's news. If you read the quotes of the OP, you will see the following:

It's all about a cloud of unusual shape (which is as curious as a pareidolia, IMO). So why not the bizarre section? You even have videos about pets or animals there. Another section that I can think is "General Off-Topic Discussion".

Ok, I get it. It's just that, I was trying to understand why this topic was moved from the bizarre section. But now I am happy to see this thread located in its original place, again.

I disagree, it's still cool and interesting.
