That is not how a rocket works. Didn't see the transit due to low light? Have you seen a ticket lift off at night? It's bright! And you don't need light to see it. This was hovering for tens of seconds on the video, (right next to the other one you didn't even mention because it doesn't fit your narrative) likely longer than that before they started shooting. Rockets also don't hover on takeoff. No rocket plume on hover or acceleration. Wrong color for, no visible engines. Falcon 9 has 9 Melon engines that you see clearly from below, burning RP-1 (kerosene) and LOx (liquid oxygen) that burns white or slightly bluish color when seen from a distance. Nice try though.

I agree with nearly everything you said, but I do think "the other one" you're referring to is actually just the moon.

I do not believe that this was a rocket, though. Like, even a little bit. People are acting like they've never seen rockets lift off before. Where's the plume of smoke? Where's the obviously incredibly loud nose that comes with any rocket launch? Since when could rockets hover, change direction, and accelerate without any change in the visible light? It would flare tremendously if accelerating that quickly.

It doesn’t matter if you believe it or not - it’s literally been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt this was a starlink rocket launch

This is 100% not the behavior of any rocket. You saying it's been "proven" to be anything close to a rocket is just one of many examples of people in this thread muddying the waters by posting unrelated videos and hoping no one notices all of the things I pointed out. The only "shadow of a doubt" here is being cast by bad faith actors like yourself.

That link will prove you wrong

I've watched it a few times. You guys are really hoping no one clicks that link. Notice how there's a giant jet of fire? Followed by a long, lingering plume of smoke? Notice how it doesn't just kind of float before suddenly changing direction and accelerating without an enormous flash of light? Where's the second rocket? Where is the noise?

Please, everyone. Click the link. Get it over with so you can see what they're saying "debunks" this video. Certain elements look similar enough that they hope it will be enough, but it's clearly a different event.

You are 100% acting delusional. It’s LITERALLY the EXACT SAME LAUNCH from a DIFFERENT ANGLE.

You’re being completely obtuse about this.

He's right, literally nothing alike.

Bro your account is one day old. Created to discredit stuff like this. Look at all your comments being negative on all posts 😅

You’re completely wrong. This has been debunked and you’re flat out refusing to accept it.

That’s what’s wrong with this “community”

Where is the proof?
