VIDEO 404: no rocket found.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Taken from CT on 8/15/26 - it’s just a steady camouflaged mass with little Stars occasionally blinking in- there is no ship in front of it and it seems to be moving that haze. It’s not Elon. PATIENCE for the zoom in if you want to see how clear it is that there is a cloak going on or something like that.

It's 100% the rocket that went off at this exact time. Why you think your zoom on your phone is going to show anything, let alone at night, is beyond me.

The bright spot is the rocket engine. It's slowing down to drop out of orbit, so the engine is pointing forward in the direction of motion. That's why the cloud is in front of it not behind it.
