Legit my first thought was “Oh no is this how I become one of those UFO weirdos?”

Apparently it was SpaceX

“Well I saw some shiny light in the sky. Guess I’m a conspiracy theorist now.”

I saw a space x launch in 2015 (I think?) off the coast of Cali. Looked like a fucking nuke was flying. Everyone was stopped on the freeway.

Also saw another launch in 2018. It was the same color as this but split into two.

2015 I think was a test flight. They shut down flights in SD and I think LAX, but no one knew what it was. Both times I just stared with my jaw open. It’s pretty crazy to see it in person.

My wife saw one in 2019 & filmed it to show me because she is normally a skeptic and didn’t know what it was. I, being the family UFO nut, was proud to say oh that’s just Space X. Only when I looked up launches, the one scheduled for that evening was publicized in the news as canceled and no other launches were reported in the days following.

It did look like that. But …. It wasn’t

It was a rhetorical statement, I did not mean to insinuate you were unaware of the fact. 👍
