grey curse

You guys in Phoenix see this

Recommended Posts

Saw it a few minutes ago. Never seen anything like that in my 68 years. Not a meteor and the light was behind the bright spot. Very strange. Thought maybe Little Kim Fatty was nuking us.

Yeah. Freaking awesome. SpaceX rocket out of Vandenburg AFB in CA. I have seen quite a few launches out of White Sands, NM early morning, but this one was awesome.

I've seen two of these before, those were missile launches from Vandenberg AFB, CA. This one probably was too.

Dan;

 

That was in the news here, a high altitude balloon. I love balloon stories, I used to work with balloons in the USAF. Can't believe I was paid to play with balloons. But the science behind the types I worked with was serious, they collected atmospheric data for forecasts and directing gravity bombs and artillery.

how come theyre keeping this one a secret? One credible source stated that he was taking video of the balloon airing up before flight (from a public road) and captured the explosion. Apparently the fbi and police were on him shortly after and confiscated the footage.
