I didn’t have my phone with me, but my wife captured it and it was kind of very.. I’m out here almost every morning regardless of what’s going on and I’ve never seen anything like that. It was kind of like Independence Day the movie when the aliens came to visit.. very weird. This is about an hour later with the Ploprof at sunrise. I have to look and see if I can find something that explains what I saw this morning like maybe an early morning lunch. About 90° to the left of the sunrise picture there’s a bombing range so that couldn’t be where it was. This was pretty much in the direction of the space center..
Here are the pictures of the light. It was constant so it wasn’t lightning.

I think it was a Starlink Falcon 9 launch, scheduled for 4:55 AM this morning:

Too many watches, not enough wrists.

Once in awhile you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

So, not an experimental warp drive. Darn.

Did this go off or did it get postponed? If that was it, I’m amazed that we could see the lights that well from here.

WRUW this Wednesday the 3rd of July.
It went at 3am and we’re too far to see the lights from there. We’ve watched a couple dozen night launches and never saw the lights from our boathouse. Still have no answer what that was.
