Twentynine Palms, California (Minotaur 4 Rocket)

Date: September 25, 2010
Time: Approx: 9:30 p.m.

Saw the same thing. We have seen the space shuttle come home a few times since we grew up in the south. We thought it may have been the folks from the international space station, but nay, it couldn't have been and I believe that it was way to big to be airplane size if you give it context. I think I will refresh my memory and look for a video of the space shuttle and compare visually with what I saw last night.

It defiantly entered the atmosphere. We saw sparks, then it seemed to glow like hot metal. I thought oh crap, there will be a shock wave because that is huge, but it never fell. We saw all the exact same things.

Vandenberg Air Force Base launched the Minotaur 4 rocket. You can read about the launch at the following URL.
