Reports Report 8505af (Event 8505-2021)

Observer
Name Julie N
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks Supposedly there were no rockets launched that day. Typically rocket launches go from South to North along the Florida coastline. From my vantage point this one came from East to West. Many people pulled over to view it. It was huge and round with what looked like flames behind it. More brighter than the typical rocket launches from the Cape. By the time I was able to pull over and grab my phone, it had already faded and I could no longer see it.
