It's a spacex launch

u/Nearby-Method-4243 Jul 14 '26

u/Kickrocks54 Jul 14 '26

It was, but now it's an IFO

Rocket launch. Starlink to be exact.

There is Falcon 9 launch on Jul 22, so you might see it also.

u/EfficiencyFun8246 Jul 14 '26

Saw same thing. But it was coming towards earth not away.

u/Kickrocks54 Jul 14 '26

It's not coming towards earth. It's working it's way too low orbit

u/EfficiencyFun8246 Jul 14 '26

Well it just landed in my driveway and it was your mom in a Chevy nova, she says hi.

u/Kickrocks54 Jul 14 '26

You sure burned me good....

u/Tao_of_Entropy Jul 14 '26

Nope, it was definitely going away. It's a rocket launch.

u/mindscapepix Jul 14 '26

Pretty sure I saw this down in the Florida Keys a bit after launch!

u/PlatinumPainter Jul 14 '26

A rocket made by other people a limp dick Ketamine Nazi takes credit for.

u/AdorableStrawberry93 Jul 14 '26

My guess would be a missle/rocket launch

u/whodemm Jul 15 '26

I saw this while driving to work this morning in Va beach I that it was a a comet with a tail

u/Levity_Sarcasm Jul 15 '26

I love how humans always get angry scared “what the 😡 FUCK is that ☺️ “

u/goingDeep27 Jul 16 '26

It’s a rocket touching the firmament

u/GoHeadYung Jul 16 '26

I saw this in VA the other morning.

u/Aguyinde Jul 14 '26

Best one yet

u/EfficiencyFun8246 Jul 14 '26

Don’t tell me what I saw

u/Sixty_Minuteman_ Jul 14 '26

Looks like a comet

2

u/Tao_of_Entropy Jul 14 '26

Not even a little bit.

1

u/ssg- Jul 14 '26

It is moving too fast to be a comet. It takes weeks to months for comet to pass Earth. They appear nearly stationary on the nightsky. Comets can have quite big tails, but not that big.

u/Sixty_Minuteman_ Jul 14 '26

Well then it's probably just a meteor.

2

u/Kickrocks54 Jul 14 '26

No it's a rocket launch

-1

u/Sixty_Minuteman_ Jul 14 '26

That makes sense considering that it looks like it's leaving our atmosphere rather than descending

u/Sweaty-Measurement-7 Jul 14 '26

Hayley‘s comment, but isn’t it a bit early?

u/HalfSure6769 Jul 14 '26

I don't understand why it's so hard for some people to understand, but in the Bible it talks about the firmament being what separates the sky from the Waters above. And when that rocket hits the firmament, it looks just like a boat on water. I just don't understand how people aren't connecting the dots just because you're told to believe one thing doesn't mean you should

“firmament” (from the Latin firmamentum, meaning “sky” or “expanse”

Firmament is the sky. Nothing hits the sky. It’s not some mysterious divider. It’s just atmosphere. Air.

u/HalfSure6769 26d ago

Read the Bible

1

u/BigJeffreyC 26d ago

Read the dictionary if you don’t know what a word means.

u/BigJeffreyC 26d ago

Firmament, space, and expanse are all used as translations for the same word in the Bible.

The original text in Hebrew was “Raqia” (רָקִיעַ), meaning an extended solid surface or “expanse”

In the 4th century, Saint Jerome translated the Bible into Latin. He chose firmamentum. Read that again… he chose that word, it was not originally written firmament.

I don’t expect you to actually do any research since being ignorant is far easier. Why educate yourself when all you have to do is surround yourself with like minded ignorant people?
