Video from Tik Tok
Ever since I was a child (im 27 now), tons of people would talk about “cigar” shaped objects in the sky. It’s been a major part of our folklore here, and sightings in SA are fairly common.
Seems pretty clear for a night video. No lights that would indicate it as another aircraft.
Just a meta comment: I often get disappointed by the lack of comments in this group so I fresh myself back to Reddit, reluctantly, to view the discussion there. 95% of the discussion on this post’s equivalent there concerns their accents. :)
I agree but this very subject is cause low reaction. I to have no idea what it is/was nor am I able to validate the validity of the video.
Looked interesting so I give it a thumbs up.
But I will say, I’m glad to see more videos from mode than grainy military cams
Yeah I really like watching these kind of home videos, but I’m such a skeptic I tend to hold off accepting most of them. That’s why I value the declassified/leaked government footage and accounts so much. Even if the footage is grainy, at least we know the footage is real.
Yes, I noticed that too lol.
When was the last launch?
I apologize, but I’m confused by your question. Are you referring to a rocket launch?
People on Reddit are saying this is StarLink because the same account has a StarLink video.
That’s interesting. It doesn’t look like a chain of lights moving through the sky like you traditionally associate with Starlink. It also doesn’t look like a rocket as you would typically see a plume from the engines.
I didn’t really study it in detail yet.
Having said that, when I hear that someone has an earlier video of SL that they identified as SL, I think maybe they know what SL looks like.
No worries, I’ll find it. I’m curious.
Yes. I figured it could be a rocket stage
