What was that bright light

[rastis95 (Scott)]

Hi all,
Woke up this morning to see a bright spot heading in a north east direction around 6 am. I'm assuming it was the iss but checked a couple of trackers and it didn't look like it crossed this morning, i could be wrong . What do ya think.

Cheers
Scott

Yeah that's the one just found some stories about it. Seems like the sightings were along the coastal areas but we are in the south west slopes so id say it was probably traveling for a while before anyone saw it ?. Be interesting to see how this one unfolds

I saw it too, managed a couple of shots.
I think it was the rocket Spacex launched from Canaveral

Id say your spot on Ashley, had a look at world times and the rocket was launched at 2.45pm which is about right for a sighting around the early morning I think.

oh yeah, go me.

I was amazed myself, I;ve read about these thing but never thought I'd see one.
