Reports Report 1869m (Event 1869-2025)

Observer
Name Karl H
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks I am pretty sure people saw the launch of Falcon 9 by Space X at 9:47 pm that night. Our video showed nearly vertical start and curve south as this was a polar orbit launch and was almost straight down the east coast of Florida heading South. I am aware we are not to report launches but south Florida usually does not see a launch from Cape Canaveral. It went out of site behind clouds and then up out of my camera field of view by 9:50 pm Video is undwhelming so did not upload.
