Did you see this over New Hampshire? Granite Staters describe seeing what is believed to be SpaceX rocket launch
GUESSING WHAT IT WAS. MY BOYFRIEND WAS OUTSIDE WITH MY DAUGHTER AND I WAS INSIDE GETTING DINNER READY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEAR THE DOOR OPEN. HE GOES, BABE, BABY, YOU GOT TO COME OUT, SIGN SOMETHING YOUNG, BEAUTIFUL, SCARY, INTERESTING. WELL, SOME BRIGHT LIGHT WAS UP IN THE NEW HAMPSHIRE SKY, JUST LAST NIGHT. I JUST HAPPENED TO CATCH THAT FLASH OF LIGHT ACROSS THE SKY. THAT IS THE PERFECT TIME. PURE EXCITEMENT. HONESTLY. JUST SO STOKED TO SEE STUFF WE ALWAYS SEE WEIRD THINGS IN THE SKY. USUALLY DRONES THAT THEIR LIGHTS ARE ON AND THEN DISAPPEAR. BUT I’VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT BEFORE. THREE, TWO, ONE. THAT MYSTERIOUS LIGHT IN THE SKY IS BELIEVED TO BE THE SPACE X FALCON NINE STARLINK LAUNCHING FROM CAPE CANAVERAL SPACE FORCE STATION IN FLORIDA. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL. AND, YOU KNOW, I DIDN’T THINK THAT IT WAS A COMET. IT WAS TOO CLOSE. IF IT WAS A COMET, WE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN BIG TROUBLE. AND WHAT PEOPLE SAW JUST GOT THEM MORE EXCITED ABOUT EXPLORING THE GREAT DEPTHS AND POSSIBILITIES OF SPACE. WE’RE BOTH HUGE FANATICS, JUST LIKE JUST SPACE AND ELON MUSK AND ALL THAT BEING A HUGE, YOU KNOW, STAR TREK FAN FROM BACK IN THE DAY. I, I HAVE THE GENE RODDENBERRY VIEW THAT SPACEX IS GOOD AND THAT, YOU KNOW, SPACE EXPLORATION IS GOOD. AND HOPEFULLY THE ALIENS WILL BE OUR FRIENDS AND SPACE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING. VIDEO THAT AVION TOOK WAS AROUND 740 LAST NIGHT, WHICH IS JUST 10 MINUTES AFTER THE SPACE X STARLINK LAUNCH. AND RIGHT NOW SPACEX X IS BUILDING TO BRING INTERNET ACCESS TO UN
