I was in Fort Worth and saw it with my own eyes. It was crazy, a ball of light surrounded by a larger expanse of light, with no trail-and a "halo" which was created out of something. Also it was sporadic and not a straight line, and diminished light over the span of a minute.
No question it's different, and bizarre-looking. 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. There are dozens of examples of it happening over Texas and around the world, I can post a few links.
@@lancelehrman8049 my guess is it was the second stage of the falcon 9 that launched from Florida this evening. It got to orbit released the starlink SATs and then after doing a full orbit the 2nd stage adjusted and did a deorbit burn over Texas 🤷 that's my best guess it was so cool to see though, the rings were insane like some giant Kyle in the sky that blew some sick O's 😂
Just saw something just like this in Navasota, Texas. Appeared foggy in a clear sky, did a bubble like glow that started fainting in and out till it disappeared
This had to be what I saw. Jacksboro Texas. Except I didnt see the initial explosion. What I saw was 6 or 7 "dots" that went traveling across the sky somewhere between satellite speed and shooting star speed. Knew it wasnt starlink cause those travel in a straight line. My initial thought was drones. I just cant recall if it was between 7:30-8 like the news says or closer to 9. Either way it was the strangest thing I've seen in the night sky.
This sounds like what my wife has been describing. I sent her vids of starlink and she said it wasn’t a straight line like that. When did you see it? We’re in colorado
It's 1:20 am Saturday morning in Austin, Tx and if you look towards southeast or near the Bergstrom ABIA you'll see a large spacecraft looking light and about 4-5 helicopters circling around it taking pictures and videos as it moves erratically. This has been going on since 10pm. We are not alone!👽💯👍
Saw it in Canadian TX in the panhandle at a football game. Me and a bunch of other people just started staring at it in a big group. Crazy thing to see
They always say these extremely odd things are Space X rockets. I've never seen "rockets" behave this way. I've been seeing these things pretty frequently since I was in Burbank Cali in 2015. Got a crazy pic of one in Mammoth lakes last July
And I assume this means you have extensive experience observing how rockets move and react to the atmosphere? Cuz if not and your only experience is lighting bottle rockets and watching action movies then it is hardly the most reliable argument.
This!! I remember first seeing it all over Internet in like 2016 and RU-vidrs were posting it from LA. Since then I’ve seen many videos from different areas
Just after 9pm in Hico, Texas. Nephew has a video of it. He thought it was a star then he said it elongated to a pear shape and moved around and then it disappeared in an instant
This is from the small nitrogen boosters that orient the rocket at high altitude. We see it all the time at cape Canaveral. If you catch a launch an hour or so after sunset or an hour or so before sunrise you will get some pretty crazy effects.
3/25/24 my mom and I saw this outside 10 minutes ago. Not no damn space x man. This one happened before the eclipse and there’s another one coming in a couple weeks
@@JamesOberg “excuse” lol nah I mean it could be just that but I don’t see any reason for a rocket to have a beam of light shoot out a halo like that. I really don’t know fr so I could be wrong but I also could be onto something lol I’ll never truly know

I was in Nolan Texas and I saw this as well it was moving from the West to the East and then that puff of smoke came out in front of it and it kind of turns South and disappeared
I saw it at Fort Worth Texas It was a cloud lit up with a light It looked very close by Then slowly disappeared and turned into a small dot That was I guess 500 miles away almost like a satellite then just vanished They said a space rocket How is that ??Florida is 4 states away also this thing looked like half a mile from where we wore at first
SpaceX has launches out of Brownsville, there was a TFR (Temporary Flight Restriction) for the launch. Also being that high up, there’s a high probability you could still see it if it launched out of Florida, the curvature of the earth wouldn’t effect the ability to see it unless it was very very far away.
From Florida 😂. Florida is way east of us around here😂. It was heading east when i saw it. How is a rocket launch from Florida gonna come all the way to Texas and Oklahoma and turn around and head back east? Hmmm. Yall know what that was.
this past weekend my mother kept looking out the window asking what was that ball of fire doing in the back yard . it was pitch black and the yard is at 2 acres and has lost of trees yet there was a light ball in the back. by the time me and my brother walked back there it was gone.

Saw something kinda similar like this except it being just a single light with two circles identical circling around it in central Germany last week at night

It’s the stage separation. The rocket is indeed going sideways into the entrance of the atmosphere. The burst of “smoke” is the satellites detaching from the rocket. The reason why it suddenly disappeared is the fuel stopped burning on the engine as it fell back to earth and the satellites moved in a way that stopped reflecting light back to earth.
I literally just saw this exact same thing tonight (10/30/2023) at around 830 or 9pm. Near white deer tx. There is no way it was the falcon 9 thing. I saw it closer up than these videos. It was nuts. I don't know what it was but it wasn't any rocket or anything.
Saw it again tonight over Pecos Texas at about 7pm. About an hour eastish.. same thing, it came in and released that cloud and then sorta disappeared as it went directly over us. 3/4/2024
@@JamesObergtotally agree, I think that's exactly what it was. I saw the same exact thing over Houston about an hour ago. The giant smoke ring was crazy
On Friday, October 13 at 7:01 p.m. ET, Falcon 9 launched 22 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. I watched it happen at 7:35 CST
@JamesOberg I noticed the date after my comment and they saw the same thing in this video the day before my comment. So 11 days ago in Amarillo Tx. It's crazy.
@@patdabarber118 == Thanks for the follow-up. The date/time coincides perfectly with a SpaceX launch that was widely seen and imaged across Texas and nearby states.
My buddy just sent me pics of it in. Galveston TX tonight 3/25/24 over Pelican island. Can’t post photos here I guess. They are here ladies and gentlemen!
This is what is called a twilight launch. After sunset or just before sunrise. The sun is illuminating only the rocket and gases but the sun is not hitting earth yet. So it is like the old time projectors. Lights are off in the room but the light is showing on the wall. And the explosion is simply just gasses from the stage seperation. That is the whole thing in a nut shell. Nothing strange, nothing scary. Like if this helped. 😊
The Government Early 2023: Aliens Exist, heres all the documents and proof. The Government Late 2023: Aliens Don't Exist, this is just a rocket that we don't know about.
Not a rocket blast-off, but an hour and a half afterwards, the upper stage fires its engine forward, to drop harmlessly into the Indian Ocean, after deploying its payloads.
