A rocket in the sky?

Did anybody else see the thing that looked like a rocket shooting through the sky at about 640 this morning?

There was a space X launch in Florida this morning at 6:33. I’m not sure it would be possible to see in Indiana, but maybe.

Oh I see. It was pretty crazy looking. Wouldn’t have expected to see it all the way up here either

I was getting ready for work this morning and saw it in Greenwood off 65. Caught about 20 seconds of video

I was heading home from work to Greenwood. Only got 6 seconds. Not something Hoosiers are used to seeing

Didn't just look like a rocket, it was a rocket.

Caught it from the driveway this morning and just stood there. Knowing it was a launch did not make the trail hanging over the rooftops look any less strange.

That is exactly what a SpaceX rocket looks like. I didn’t realize that there were any launch locations you could see from Indiana! How cool!

Technically, you can't see the launch location (Cape Canaveral FL) from here, but you can see the rocket when it reaches a high enough altitude.
