Ich sitze auf meiner Veranda im südlichen NM und plötzlich sehen wir dieses Licht am Himmel. Es flog über uns nach Westen nach Osten und wir fanden ein Bild, als es diesen seltsamen Ring machte.

    1. Probably a falcon 9 second stage doing a debit burn, they typically happen over the central US (have seen multiple in Texas)

      Edit: and there was a launch earlier today, this was definitely a stage 2 deorbit.

    2. „what is this?“ 95% of the time it’s a Falcon 9 launch. Someone else will share which one exactly here soon I’m sure.

      Looks a lot like the separation stage of a rocket launch. This especially happens near dusk or dawn.

    4. I’ve seen a ton of space x falcon 9 reentry pics and videos that look just like this.

    5. I believe this was a Florida Space X launch. I’m surprised you can see this in southern NM. It must be the second stage doing a burn after already orbiting Earth.

    6. Obviously a gargantuan space jellyfish.

      Wait, jokes are allowed here, right?

      Just the carrier dropping off our copy of the paperwork for the new bypass being built. Nothing important.

      Pretty much exactly what it looked like a few weeks ago when I watched the manned SpaceX flight accidentally.

    9. Saw this over dinner here in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Not bright, but definitely visible.

      Ok, hear me out: the Enterprise E just returned to the 24th century after preventing a temporal incident. Watch first contact, yall!

      SpaceX. The launch info’s on their website. Videos identical to yours are all over reddit currently.

      Oooooo, breaking light speed within earth’s atmosphere is sooo illegal!

      The U.S.S. Enterprise D going back to it’s own time after making sure the Vulcans saw the warp signature from Zefram Cochrane.

    14. That is what a rocket re-entering the atmosphere looks like.

      Go watch a spacex launch some time – they are pretty cool to see – especially the landing…

      This is what a rocket launch looks like. They are ever more common.

      was this in texas?? i saw something remarkably similar tonight. april 12th after the sun went down

    17. Pretty sure that’s the Enterprise following the Borg through a time portal…

    18. It’s even stranger that OP suddenly deleted their account, also they could’ve easily found a quick answer by Googling the same description.

    19. I think its the Phoenix, designed by Dr. Zefram Cochrane and was the first warp capable ship in human history. Vulcans should be landing any minute now.

    20. Vulcans came a bit earlier to check on us, they saw the sad state we’re in right now and noped back out!

      The US economy breaking up and exploding when it hits the atmosphere.

      Lots of people saying „it’s spaceX,“ not many people actually explaining what’s going on here.

      It’s called Twilight Phenomenon, and it can happen with any rocket —not just a Falcon 9— that launches shortly before dawn or after dusk. Even though the observer on the ground is in the dark of night, the rocket up at higher altitude is still in direct sunlight. So the expanding gas of the rocket’s exhaust catches the sunlight to create some striking visuals. [The Wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twilight_phenomenon) on it has some great photos, as well as [this helpful graphic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twilight_phenomenon#/media/File%3ATwilight_Phenomena_Infographic.png) showing exactly what’s going on.
