SecretSanta Posted July 27, 2016 #2 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Apparently it was Atlas V rocket launch from Cape Canaveral. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claire. Posted July 27, 2016 #3 Share Posted July 27, 2016 It's really quite pretty. One explanation is that the plume is from a hydrogen powered rocket engine, water vapor condenses in the high altitude forming a cloud of ice crystals reflecting light from the sun which, from this viewpoint, is below the horizon. The Atlas V rocket was fired off from Cape Canaveral on June 24. Not sure though when this video was shot.

SecretSanta Posted July 27, 2016 #10 Share Posted July 27, 2016 This is what I've read...The footage, recored in September last year and originally uploaded by YouTuber Modesto Figueroa, has caused social media frenzy the second time around since going viral on LiveLeak on Thursday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrLzs Posted July 28, 2016 #11 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Could those who are giving dates (eg of Atlas V launches) please supply the sources for that information? From what I can see this all happened 2 Sep 2015. Even the guy who posted it says it was an Atlas V: So, where did the 24th/23rd (what month what year??) claims come from?????? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimOberg Posted July 28, 2016 #12 Share Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) You win your bet.

internetperson Posted July 29, 2016 #15 Share Posted July 29, 2016 (edited) Haha I immediately knew that was Miami's airport. It should be obvious and anyone that's been to Miami would know why. I'm not exactly a rocket scientist but I've watched many many launches. I live in Jax and I can see the shuttle launches from here. It's really fun to stand inside, watch the live feed on the news, wait for the launch and then run outside and 30 seconds later you can see the rocket. One thing about this is the rocket or whatever it is isn't going in the correct direction if it's space bound. That being said, they've (SpaceX) been landing the rockets as of late and I've never witnessed that. Also the military is extremely active in FL and they don't always let us know what's up until after the fact. We had an 'earthquake' not too long ago and it turned out to be the Navy doing tests. So it wouldn't be surprising that this is military related. EDIT: This part of the beach is like 5 min from my house. Apparently the arcing is due to the curvature of the earth but the perspective of the astronauts are that they're going straight up. Not sure about that but it's 'word on the street.' Something else to think about is I don't think the Atlas rocket is used for manned flights, but again, I am fairly ignorant on this topic.

ChrLzs Posted July 30, 2016 #16 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Yes, and it was a military payload, hence the lack of prior warning (except to those that need to know..) Also, ahem...

Vorg Posted July 31, 2016 #19 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Simply one of the guys who the 9/2/15 poster also caught filming the event. I wish YouTube would crack down on such nonsense. This guy gets enough views, he gets a check. All based on deliberate fraud. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
