it was pretty strange i saw it out of the corner of my eye sitting at my bar. and it slowly changed shape over about 15 mins till it disappeared.

from our view it changed from white to yellow to orange. my friend that lives in rancho bernado said it was orange from his visiblity.

mira mar is just east of us by about a block. not sure if they would risk testing a rocket test from mira mar but that looks like the direction it would have come from.

It looked pretty cool when the sun was setting. I ran in to get the camera, but by the time I got out there the sun had set too much! Oh well. Not every day you see that.

It was a Minotaur from Vandenberg. 4 stage rocket into low orbit.

Pretty cool looking. My 3-year-old ran back in the house screaming and wouldn't come out of her room :-(

Looks similar to few years back I was in vegas and saw wame thing was one of the test of anti missle
system where they fired one missle and tried to hit it with another. By the way normally you are too far south for northern lights but it's not impossible I think not too many years ago was enough solar activity northern lights were visible as far south as mexico. I saw them in tennessee.

I was born in Roswell in 1960.

At least my parents told me I was "born." One never knows....
