The big cloud-ish bit is the first stage burn back.

I have to say, it looks pretty damn wicked

u/Illustrious-Bat1553 1d ago

Probably toxic

Kerosene and oxygen, the same as a camp stove.

There's this thing called "google" you might want to check out.

u/maurymarkowitz 1d ago

On my bucket list. Last time I was in FL they scrubbed and that was my only chance so far.

u/vladtheinhaler0 1d ago

I do some photography so that might find it's way into my bucket list

NASA Launch this morning... The lights were beautiful..

u/MastiffOnyx 2d ago

Just want to point out, that if you ever see a dozen of these at the same time....you probably have 15 min to get 5 miles underground or your a Krispy Kritter.

u/DrewDAMNIT 2d ago

What the hell is a "strangle light?"

u/FutureMartian97 2d ago

How many times do you morons need to be told it's a Falcon 9 launch.

u/mattemer 2d ago

All of the times, unfortunately

u/Nice_Ad_8183 1d ago

I'm sure your military leadership really appreciates you sharing all that info

u/JuanDonDemarco 1d ago

I bet you’re fun at parties.

u/Therealginahandler 1d ago

You act like there aren't new people to Reddit on a daily basis. It's obvious you have been chronically online. You should probably take a break, and a nap.

2

u/Flick_W_McWalliam 1d ago

Chronically online? That’s the bozo who never looks up or goes outside and thinks the weekly rocket launches are “Strangle Lights,” whatever the hell that’s supposed to mean.

u/Therealginahandler 1d ago

You know, there are people that don't live by the launch sites that have never seen it.

u/LunaticPoint 2d ago

Spacex launches have been covered so long and so thoroughly that I think people are being intentionally ignorant.

u/omniiViirus 1d ago

So You believe everybody should know everything automatically? Very ignorant statement you made.

4

u/Any_Evidence4750 1d ago

Anyone within distance of seeing a SpaceX launch should know what they are by now.

-1

u/omniiViirus 1d ago

So what you are saying is that everyone breathes at the same time, everyone blinks at the same time, everyone sleeps at the same time and we all know everything the person next to us knows? Complete idiot.

1

u/Any_Evidence4750 1d ago

So the thing is that I live nowhere near the launches and yet they show up on the internet so often that I know exactly what these are.

u/Sea_Appointment8408 2d ago

Looks cool but not a UFO so doesn't belong here.

-2

u/Wurio 1d ago

In fact: it was unknown to op, so…

2

u/Mr_McGigglepants 1d ago

But did it fit the other letters of the acronym?

I'm thinking no

0

u/Wurio 1d ago

So the spacex crs-35 is Not flying? Nor an object?
Hmmm. But what do I know

2

u/Mr_McGigglepants 1d ago

That depends on how you define object

I was just being a smartass. TBF though I got the impression OP didn't think it was. They called it a strangle light🤷‍♂️

2

u/Flick_W_McWalliam 1d ago

A tumbleweed rolling by is “unknown” to this kind of OP.

3

u/No-Set6408 1d ago

That cloud is fuel that spreads during rocket separation.

4

u/AdWooden2312 2d ago

My guess is aliens

2

u/welding-guy 2d ago

Its is either spacex or the end times. Looks ominous AF, good photo.

2

u/Natternuts 2d ago

Incredible rocket smoke

2

u/ReleaseFromDeception 1d ago

My friend, that is the most EPIC high altitude rocket plume lighting I have ever seen.

So, so cool! What a shot.

u/PariahCarey2 1d ago

“ In space, no one can hear you strangle”

u/jdillacornandflake 1d ago

Remind me never to go to space with you.

u/psycho_not_training 1d ago

https://www.reddit.com/r/Georgia/s/ZQqJmcAwhv. Here’s a better view of the whole thing. Really pretty.

u/GroundbreakingUse794 1d ago

Choke out that bitch-ass, vague light source!

1

u/cabezatuck 1d ago

I’m so pissed I left like 10 min after this launch was visible this morning!

1

u/Flick_W_McWalliam 1d ago

I hope to God that I am never Strangled by the Strangle Light in the sky.

1

u/Clique_Send 1d ago

Looks like a plume of some kind of exhaust gas

1

u/Hisuiii_77 1d ago

1

u/enkrypt3d 1d ago

How do ppl not know about spaceX by now?

u/PSK666 1d ago

Gods fart

u/Onemanband62 1d ago

Looks like another releasing of the go about your business and don’t care about the government deceiving you gas.

u/SpartanMoonMan 1d ago

Quick tip for anyone new here: don't post anything you find weird or can't explain yet. You'll get torn apart by a crowd of keyboard warriors, basement dwelling dorks. Learned that one the hard way a couple days ago
