Lasted a good 5mins. Atc had no clue what it was. Finally we were told that it was a rocket launch over OAL (Coaldale... Area 51??) Dispatch suggested secret military operations going on. Anyone know?
You must have been behind us. We were just east of las. Sure didn't look like it was off the coast. Looked much closer. We saw something moving and then this bright light. I'm sure it was the rocket, but the strange part was the "light" started from above us. You'd think we would have seen it go up. Very odd
