I mean why would that rocket ship be zig zagging that out of control. That's dangerous over people heads.

So what's factually wrong with the SpaceX explanation, please?

Yesss thats what I was coming here to put !!! I saw it a couple days ago !!!

Saw it in Fredericksburg. It was 100% heading south

Yeah, clearly this news reporters sense of direction is confused, he contradicted himself several times.

Same from Wichita at 7:30 tonight 10/13/23.

I just witnessed it in eastern Oklahoma about an hour ago.

I 100% saw this in Sulphur Springs, Texas, about 8pm Saturday. I actually saw it flying low, with the "haze" effect actually going in and out of focus, making the central light clearer sometimes. It also formed a ring, then disappeared leaving a faint mist, haze, or even "glow" as I recall, with no other trace. It got right above me before disappearing, and I could see a kind of distortion in the air around and out in front of it as well.

@@robertgoldsmith7890 ==Thanks for the details, I'm doing a report [and will share]. How far away did it look?

In Ft. Hood, Texas just spotted 20 min ago!! This exact scenario. The mist is was got me

I saw it today too in Hewitt

Including the halo-spitting?

So who still thinks the SpaceX explanation is bogus -- and why, please?

Hi Clifford. It was the second stage booster of a Falcon 9, that was launched toward the southeast from Florida. We saw it 90 minutes later after it took the long way from Florida to Texas, completing its first orbit around the Earth. It approached from the northwest, still traveling southeast at about 17,500 mph (sorry flattards, the earth is round). At no time did it ever travel from east to west. Equatorial satellites are always launched to the east, with the Earth's rotation, to take advantage of the extra 900 mph or so to reach orbital velocity. The beautiful fog and smoke rings surrounding the apparition were due to unused propellant (kerosene/liquid oxygen venting from the booster tanks into the vacuum of space. Since the booster appeared in the west shortly after local sunset, it was illuminated by direct sunlight while we on the ground were in darkness, making it quite spectacular from our point of view. I had just stepped outside to get a look at Venus, which was a brilliant golden color, extremely low on the western horizon. I immediately spotted a bright white fuzzy Q-tip approaching, just to the right of Venus. Within a few moments the light had doubled in size and I noticed a bluish fog enveloping it. At first I thought it was an airliner descending through a cloud layer until I realized that the sky was clear and that the 'cloud' was traveling with the object. From my vantage point near Austin, the object passed directly in front of the half moon for just an instant. The object was not visible to the naked eye when silhouetted by the moon, Perhaps 30 seconds after transiting the moon, it faded rapidly as it passed into the Earth's shadow and abruptly vanished.

Bro this AI ^^^😭🤣🤦‍♂️ wtf is “the long way from Florida to Texas??”

@@DylanRios-zk6nb The longest way, completely around the planet. Just head east and eventually you will get there. You a flerfer?

@@DylanRios-zk6nb not everyone who actually knows information is an AI

@@KrikZ32shit screams a.i

I saw that, too, here in Haltom City. Any idea what the hell that was? That was crazy.

spacex falcon 9 rocket releasing satellites. puff of smoke was the stage separation@@LupeCoded

@@LupeCoded No clue it was unreal and I wouldn't Believe it unless I saw this kinda thing with my own eyes

I SAW ONE TODAY ON THE HIGHWAY I CALLED 911 BECAUSE MY DUMB AHH THOUGHT IT WAS A MISSILE

My pa saw one dawgy

It must have been our 900 rocket....NOT! Lol....even though it travels over 500 mph, which means it hits outer space within a few min. The rocket would have been over 5,000, miles away within an ninety min PERIOD. It couldn't have been the rocket. Think people much love.

You should post it

Post it

Post

Saw in London aswell

Just happened in OKC by the airport like 20min ago.

I just saw it at 7:36pm in Weatherford Oklahoma October 13

We just did too around that time in Sunset Valley, TX.

Paris TX here.. my daughter and I saw the same thing.. right about the same time

Saw the same thing today around 7:34pm in Frisco, TX

Did you see the glowing ring, too?

@@JamesOberg Yes sorry for the late response.

@@marceld8961 -- No problem, I'm still working on my report -- over the past year, this halo effect has been seen five times in the Texas area.

"lowly faded and disappeared in the sky." == Exactly right. The fading is caused by the object moving into Earth's own shadow.

@@JamesOberg Interesting I just moved to Fort Worth Texas from Michigan. I never saw something like that in Michigan. I have seen a UFO or unidentified flying object but not this. My mom and dad thought I was crazy.

That is what I just saw in Fort Worth about 15 min ago

This has been real frequent!

thats starlink...

starlink

Why no another routine rocket launch? What's your objection?

Saw it about an hour ago in the Texas hill country. Big smoke ring.

Saw it here in Haltom City. That was nuts man.

Same time but from NW Arkansas. It sure if I’d even be able to see a rocket launch from this far NE..?

Hey man. I saw this in Sulphur Springs Texas, about 8pm that same night. It was Saturday, right? Would love to chat about what you saw. It flew RIGHT over me, and low. I got a real good look, and could even see a second type of distortion, in addition to the hazy cloudy effect, in front of it that looked like some kind of field. Wildest thing I've ever seen.

@@robertgoldsmith7890 Friday night. Yea I was wanting to talk to someone about it too

Lmaoooo

I'm in eastern Oklahoma and I witnessed it too.

Perfect description of a Falcon-9 second stage doing a de-orbit rocket burn to fall harmlessly into the southern Indian Ocean.

Are you OK with the SpaceX rocket explanation?

my wife and I JUST saw this tonight (7:55 pm on Oct. 30th, 2023). The ring went in FRONT of the light...HOW?!?!? ELON!!!!

​@Bdurrant1966 I saw the same thing around 8 pm Oct. 30 2023 in Texas. I saw a bright silvery white orb that I initially though was a plane ( it's somewhat foggy as its been raining the last few days). These videos don't show it, but my eyesight is perfect. There was a burst and 4 or 5 whitish-blue tendrils extended hundreds of feet in front of the object to create a 45°-60° semi circle. When this happened the object and the remaining semi circle began to fade within 5-10 seconds as if it was some kind of cloaking technology. I don't know if it was aliens or some secret government project, but I haven't seen anything like it outside of movies.

Hey!! I researched so many videos put out by Space X which shows the ring after the separation, but the ring falls back behind the vehicle....it doesn't go forward. Maybe it;s an optical illusion, or maybe it's something else!! Personally, I think Elon is not human!!! :) @@coltongropp1465

​@@coltongropp1465me and my daughter just witnessed everything you described about an hour ago.

I feel ya, swa it myself

Saw it in FW Texas around 6:10 pm.

My wife and I saw it from our driveway in Sunset Valley, and the smoke ring.

Link

You got the link. I tried to record with my phone but it disappeared by the time I could get a video

I saw the same thing in Frisco, TX around same time. I shot the video too

How come the same thing could be visible in two diff places at same time????

​@@saimohan3881dude I saw it too

How far away did it seem? What was its path shaped like?

Did you see the halo-spitting event?

i thought the same thing

Me too, got a video of it

I saw it on July 23rd. I heard a pop outside that sounded like a gunshot or fireworks, so I went outside to check. That’s when I saw it. Went inside and grabbed my phone.

it had gone most of the way around the earth already, it was a satellite carrying rocket and so it has to get the satellites into an orbital trajectory. When the starlink satellites are fully into their final trajectory they go around the earth every 90 minutes or so.

@@KrikZ32so if that’s the case is this the first time this has been done cause I’m sure if this is how it’s always done people would already know what this is or what not 🤔🤷🏽‍♂️

​@@letthemhatebullyz6175 it's been done quite a few times since the first batch of satellites in 2019, but there are a million things that affect visibility and being able to see it like this. Not to mention that they're putting them in all kinds of different orbital paths around the earth to cover more area, this is the first batch of satellites in this path, and this is a very abnormal flight path which would pass a lot of areas that probably never have visible launches/spaceflights.

@@KrikZ32 -- Spot on, good for you!

Man shut up

Doesn’t explain the change in pattern I saw it with my own eyes with my friends for about 10 minutes we were at a park in South Fort Worth. Clear open sky it changed directions a bunch of times before fading off in the night

There was no missle

Unused fuel and oxygen venting from the booster fuel tanks into the vacuum of space.

How far away did it seem? What was its path shaped like?

This is the 7th time in ten months that a Falcon9 de-orbit burn has occurred over Texas. I'm a retired 'rocket scientist' and I've been compiling the witness reports of these events. I'm on Facebook if you want me to email you a rough draft of my report.

Falcon-9 overflights have been seen five times in the past year, in the Texas area. They were about 200 miles high, in orbit around Earth.

"It was too close to the ground." == and you measured its distance how, exactly?

Seen it last night am in levelland tx

YEAH WELL ENJOY !

Perhaps they've been launching the same rocket every day/night for weeks...😂😂😂 just how foolish are we do they thinksmh

Where are you located? We just saw it about 30 minutes ago.

We just saw it too around 6:10 p.m. in southeast Oklahoma

Just saw it about an hour or so ago in eastern Oklahoma.

I saw it at 6:10 in Waco, TX

Bro same in Fort Worth Texas around 6:10.

I'm in eastern Oklahoma and saw it as well.

That's what orbital vehicles and their engine plumes do, when they pass into Earth's shadow and lose the sunlight.

@JamesOberg Ohhh thanks!

@@caedmon77 -- Seriously, I can post links to other examples. Watch the skies!

@@JamesOberg thanks, it's certainly an unusual sight.

Intriguing. Do you recall the exact date and time, I'll check Musk's rocket launches.

FIVE times over Texas in the last ten months.... Musk needs to pay rent for that corner of the Texas sky!

Did you see the ring? How far away did it look to you?

Me too! Tripped me out when I saw the ring!

Bro I just seen it 48 minutes ago and I had binoculars it just looked like a white line flying around with a white dot next to it wasn't a plane or rocket it was like a crack in the sky just flying Around

Same. I have a video in my channel

So why =NOT= a Space-X rocket?

So why couldn't have been the Falcon9 upper stage?

Hello?

Texas is downrange of Florida when the rocket passes all the way around the planet. You do know Earth is round, right?

Did you see the halo-spitting event?

"That doesn't make sense space x?" Standard Falcon-9 upper stage post-payload-deploy deorbit rocket burn, to harmlessly fall back over an empty, ocean. Want a dozen or two previous examples?

@@JamesOberg did they have one tonight?

@@shannahonea714 == Launch verified, that's the seventh seen from Texas in past twelve months.

@@shannahonea714 -- Verified launch was90 minutes earlier. Perfect timing.

@@JamesOberg did it go from east to west or west to east

CLUE: The Earth is round. Do you need help from some 14-year-old Boy Scout with the 'Space Exploration' merit badge, to explain orbital trajectories to you?

"So Florida has moved to thr west of Texas, sweet, good to know" == Is this still your view concerning these weird apparitions?

Intriguing. Do you recall the exact date and time, I'll check Musk's rocket launches.

October 13?

How far away did it seem? What was its path shaped like?

Did you see the halo-spitting event?

Get a grip. You were watching [and accurately describing] the upper stage of the Falcon-9 launched 90 minutes earlier from Florida, to the east, that had dropped off its payloads and then performed a safing maneuver to drop harmlessly out of orbit. It's been happening with Falcon-9 launches all around the world. Time to catch up?

Any questions?

Was that like the apparition you personally saw? Come on , don't run and hide.

Hello?

Did you record the date and time, so it could be compared with world spaceflight activities?

I guess not.

Just happened in monahans Texas about 1 n 15 mins ago like witlf

@@MonicaVance-ke6eq == What do you guys think of the SpaceX rocket explanation?

October 13, then?

How far away did it seem? What was its path shaped like?

@@JamesOberg how can I contact you I have a video

Date and time? Then I can tell you which rocket it was. What the halo-spitter missions do is 90 minutes after taking off from Florida, after circling Earth once and deploying their payloads. The upper stage comes right across southern Texas west to east, fires its engine briefly FORWARD to slow down, and then slips harmlessly into the atmosphere over the southern Indian Ocean.

Hello?
