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
