It would be cool if they gave the info to the Heavens Above site first and they just remove it. LOL

With the speed this rocket is going to be moving, it won’t take long to get up 150 miles or so. We should know something soon, if they had a launch.

Went outside (Honolulu) to look for a missile contrail as 193 went over. Could not see anything to the southwest, although it is still daylight here. Ya never know.........

Too much to hope for a night time intercept.........

We watched it fly by at about 6:40 tonight. We also saw a beautiful falling star!

How will we know if they got it or not?

Yes..I did read your earlier post and learned alot. You are probably right on target with your analysis. The Pentagon told the press that they would inform them within an hour of any launch..so we should know pretty soon.

I’m only a few miles from DC and I can see it great. But my camera doesn’t want to take the pic :(

Still crossing my fingers for Aegis BMD
