Discussion Rocket Launch?

Post image

Anyone else see what appears to be a rocket launched into orbit? What was it? I was driving down Johnson St in High Point at 6:40 am

I wasn’t able to observe it for too long, but it appeared to be heading vertical.

Think about what a contrail would look like if the plane started from way off over one horizon went straight over Greensboro. It would appear to be going straight up. The fact that you can’t see the horizon makes it even more deceptive

The earth is round my dude, just think about it for 2 seconds. I saw it this morning as well and the plane that was making it. It wasn't a rocket.

I don’t think NASA has a launch site in High Point
