A number of years ago, Patrick informed us of a missle launch from Vandenburg AFB that might be visible here in Salt Lake City. I went out on stood on my carport roof to see what I could see. What I saw was identical to that. Hard to believe that something 600+ miles away could be seen so clearly.

It looks outside the atmosphere because the wind doesn't blow it and nothing seems to deform it.
