NASA launched the Black Brant XII rocket Saturday
“Walt Rupnik sat in the backyard of his Breinigsville home on Saturday evening with his wife Diane, enjoying one of the final days of the summer season – In a flash, things got pretty weird in the early evening sky,” writes Tyrone Richardson for The Morning Call.
NASA says the Black Brant XII rocket launched Saturday night in Virginia is responsible for reports of people seeing unidentified flying objects.
”I was sitting out there grilling chicken and all of a sudden I saw a bright slice of light and then we watched as a triangular shape came out of it,” the 55-year-old Rupnik said. ”It was the strangest thing we ever saw. The light beamed down out of the sky for 30 to 45 seconds then it went back into the slice and then it was gone. It didn’t fly off, it just disappeared.”
The space agency said it launched the Black Brant XII around 7:45 p.m. Saturday to gather data on the highest clouds in the Earth’s atmosphere.
NASA hopes the experiment will provide information on the formation and properties of noctilucent clouds, which occur at high altitudes.
