Space launch this morning?
 

Does anyone know if there was a space launch this morning around 6:15 or so? I observed an aircraft of some sort that flew across the sky with a long flaming exhaust trailing behind it, very high in the East. It seemed to be moving in a Southern direction as it slowly gained altitude. I didn't see any launches scheduled this early when I searched the Internet this morning. It wasn't a vapor trail from a jet and it was flaming yellow behind it.

Just wondering if I did witness a rocket launch.

I have app on my phone that gives me updated days and times of launch. I am not in the area so have it turned off. I do know there is a launch 6/8.

If there was a launch you can go to space launch web or it will be on the news.

Didn't see anything scheduled. Thank you for the link.

Was also videoing it when the sprinkler came on and soaked me. :1rotfl:

A launch of a Falcon 9 Nilesat 301 was scheduled for 5:04 this morning from Cape Canaveral.

Nope, old information.

June 10: A SpaceX Falcon 9 will launch the Nilesat 301 geostationary communications satellite from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. Delayed from April.

I'm thinking it was a jet with the con trail and some sort of distortion caused by the sunlight. Most launches go North, though the last one went South.

I thought at first that it was a "con trail" from a jet, BUT it was seriously wavy/puffing a yellow flame look out the back. Thought maybe it was some kind of rocket test. I don't know much about this subject, but it was interesting. Seemed kind of a short exhaust for a "con trail" but like I said, not very knowledgeable on the subject.

Military aircraft with the afterburners on ? Somebody out there as the answer.

No I don’t know - thanks for asking!
