I saw a vid of the contrail with the exhaust flames he mentioned. Unless the aircraft was on fire. It was not a plane.

Would you guys PLEASE look at this site...

It explains well the glow very graphically.

Again, I have seen this kind of thing personally myself.
I am a private pilot in SoCal for decades.
I don’t know what else to tell you guys.

"I saw a vid of the contrail with the exhaust flames he mentioned. Unless the aircraft was on fire."

This CBS videoMaybe you should check out my analysis of that video in Comment #1 on that thread.

CBS shows only 14 seconds TOTAL of video -- comprising three short clips separated (with big gaps) in time -- and mixed and swapped them around to make it appear more exciting. Then CBS flat lied by calling that edited mess, "RAW video"... Don't take my word for it. Look at the video and check it out for yourself...

That "flame" (reflection, actually) lasts no more than four seconds out of their entire video. They just keep "looping" it to make it seem longer. The total distance traveled in that time was just a few plane lengths.

BTW, if it was a missile, why was that "flame" not visible the whole time -- as they are on other evening launches?,
