I cannot think of any way a rocket launch would cause that. All these years launching rockets, suddenly, they look different. Which fuel/oxidizer combination would cause that, and why the double spiral? Burns in space diffuse rather quickly.

Somebody needs to offer a "how" explanation.

It’s a new galaxy.

Oh, I suppose I should add that the offered explanation bothers me because I don't think the spiral was located where the booster descended. Maybe it had to be viewed from a particular angle to see the glint from the sun.

OK, maybe.

It would have to occur near dusk or dawn so that the earth’s curvature would illuminate the high-altitude vapor while the surface remained in darkness.

Oh suuuuure, likely story! It’s another space ship which traveled bi,lions of miles only to crash and burn in nm somewhere, and the gov has the craft and bodies in a secret bunker somewhere lol

Looks like the nav system had an issue. I’d be surprised if G-force didn’t tear the rocket apart. I wonder if they’re using the old mechanical gyros or the newer (still 35 years old) fiber optic gyros(?)

I TOTALLY FAIL TO UNDERSTAND WHY ANYONE THINKS IT IS WISE TO TANGLE HORNS WITH ELON MUSK-—

WHO ELSE CAN RETURN TO THE USA/PARALLEL PARK THEIR ROCKET BOOSTER & USE IT OVER & OVER AGAIN???

HOW MANY SUCH BOOSTERS DID NASA DUMP INTO THE OCEANS???
