Anyone else on Merritt that heard that or caught sight of the launch? Pls anons--tell me and my wife's son we're not crazy-- that someone else saw that odd winged payload!??
I have alerts sent to my phone when launches happen because I have 3 little kids and like them to see because STEM an' sheeit, but there was no alert for this.
I witnessed two vehicles launching simultaneously, and after two long burns JOIN TOGETHER and...well...disappear. I've never seen anything out of the ordinary at NASA (except we knew about the x37b because it kept landing here) until early this morning.
X-37B went up on Sept 7th. It's possible that launched the second one
Christopher Hughes
This was...probably not another x37. It was much larger, and was launched from a delta5 heavy.
That part is especially weird. The D5-heavy ( my estimation for what I saw as the launch vehicle) is overpowered for that "mini-shuttle". Also larger wings.
Christopher Morris
could be sending up rods for the rods of god to fuck up the gooks
Jordan Morgan
>no exhaust
nice light reflection
Chase Jones
Why expend the energy to send rods up, when you can make them out of stuff already in orbit simply by launching an orbital foundry? There's roughly 1,900 tons of metal up there already in the form of defunct satellites.

>delta 5 heavy
Are you retarded? No such LV exists.
You fags are all falling for a LARP. I am at the Cape all week for my job and there have been no launches.

You went too far to be believable. They always go too far.
Cooper Campbell
This really happened
>inb4 larp >inb4 whatever
Background: I moved here in '02 for the surfing and to go to graduate school. As a guy, ofc I was interested in space. I know a TON of cape-apes, and this mainly goes out to them--I've talked to you faggots here before so I know you're around. I'm now and oldoldfag, and take my 3 kids to see launches whenever possible.
Charles Cox
Doesn't SpaceX launch from there? Also, more pics.
Justin Reyes
TY user, spent too much time here. It was actually mywife and I. (we have 3 girls, age 5 - 9).
It exists, it works, it's been used several times.
Aiden Moore
That was the weird part, user... Otherwise, it'd just be another launch, whether public or clandestine.
Jeremiah Mitchell
Do you give any thought to this post?
Evan Gomez
That would be a delta *4* heavy, not a 5.
Juan Lee
>Doesn't SpaceX launch from there? spacex AND blue origion. Good guys locally--buying houses, wifing up Orlando sluts and making moms out of them . . . They are a welcome site. More pics of the ~4:30EST launch I witnessed: stand by
Parker Taylor
My point exactly.
I also happen to work in a position which has advanced insight into the AF launch systems. I can promise you that no Delta IV in any configuration, much less a Heavy, launched anytime in the last few weeks from the Cape. OP is a liar.

Robert Davis
If this is the NRO launch from last week I'm sorry to disappoint you newfags but that was a standard spy bird. Nothing unusual about the SV or the Atlas V that took it to orbit.
Luis Bennett
Stop larping you clownshoe.
Jayden Garcia
ok nobody else saw it. take care, anons.
Cooper Garcia
bye bye
Levi Rivera
>wifing up Orlando sluts and making moms out of them
You can't turn a whore into a housewife.
Colton Cruz
a fucking leaf, this post makes little to no sense for the simple fact that they arnt just unguided peices of metal, they have guiddence systems aswell as other top secret means of bringing the rod up to speed for maximum effect, you cant just make a factory in space you autist
Owen Hill
Its probably nuttin you kunt. Stop overthinkin. You're not rayycist are you?
Robert Scott
bro satellite beach here i've been up all night lately. they've been going up every night.
Luke Morgan
Hmmm guess something is up.
I wonder who...you get a happy Kim.
Aiden Russell
have you seen any of them? The one this AM was really weird.
Easton Carter
i've mostly been hearing them and catching a glimpse here and there. they're definitely launches.
Benjamin Parker
>>no exhaust > >nice light reflection This was taken from my s7 edge phone at this location:
I'm a blue-collar guy and was there to sight out contractual work so I could place a bid (welding/restaurant stuff)
Henry Williams
moar pics incoming (of diff launches of x37b and such...)
Adrian Turner
yeah. satellite is another 6 or so nautical mi. from where I am, so it makes sense you didn't see anything out of the ordinary except the frequency of the launches.
Weird tho, right? Where I am on Merritt Island, the windows rattle but only a little. The delta 5 heavy launches rattle the windows the whole way up, and sympathetically vibrates my whole house--so I KNOW it's not the same vehicle.
Bentley Sullivan
Well, fuckit--no luck on summoning cape-ape anons who want to explained this glorious winged faggot they launched at 440amEST US.
I will repost when I can get some better photos. Thanks for all that treated this thread kindly, and I understand to all the faggots who told me to fuck off--I get it--fake and gay, afterall...
now pls move on to the next thread that DOESNT have 1post by this ID as the OP, you newfaggot cucks...
But rly, cape-apes---I need you now to avow this launch . . . WTF is going on up there?
Bentley Wood
yeah, it's definitely smaller. by the time the windows are rattling, it's mostly too late to see, but i can definitely recognize the rattle caused by launches.
Ian Gutierrez
alright--TY SATanon. Rest of the thread was gaslighting me, saying I didn't see what I saw. Anyway, weird shit this AM and can't wait to hear from cape-apes wth it was... Suppose it will be 2-4 wks to get them drunk enough out at that bar up Courtney, amirite?
