| Remarks | One of these in the low SW, was a typical Vandenburgh rocket launch, but also it appeared like another launch from the same location a few minutes earlier, was shot in a different direction, and came right over the top of us? About 2.5 minutes later, a bright flash right on the SE horizon, not at all sure if it is related to the launch, but in any case I include the video of all these events combined, FYI. |
