If you enlarge that photo it looks like an old Volkswagon bus re-entering the atmosphere.

#7. Looks like a giant Blue Grouper fish. Would make one helluva fish fry.

that’s what I saw! only much bigger and brighter blue and red and gold at the bottom. And the two white spots looked like white eyes. I raced up from the barn to grab my better half so he could see it, too, but by the time I got to the top of the mountain it wasn’t as bright as a few minutes prior and the ‘eyes’ weren’t as close together. I guess one of the eyes was a second stage? or maybe it was the first?

I guess the blue and red glow was from the first stage coming back and landing right smack dab down on the same launch pad. Can you imagine?!

We saw contrails stretching back quite a ways, too - several rays - and then, it was gone. But no sonic booms for us - just silent beauty

A-——mazing!
