Launch of the Soyuz 2 rocket carrying Glonass-K satellite

[TheOldeUltraViolence]

The only things that bug me about this are: 1) Why does the rocket exhaust make the pattern it does? and 2) Why does the exhaust remain so luminous for so long after it's produced?

Now, I'm not implying any extraterrestrial or supernatural causes. I'm just curious and scientifically minded. Hopefully someone with more knowledge on this will read my comment and feel compelled to answer. Thank you for the video by the way.

@TheOldeUltraViolence 1) Probably because of how the nozzles are placed. 2) The exhaust is luminous because it's in direct sunlight. The launch was 6 in the morning, before sunsire.

Whas that à fast lada

[MrElSatan]

1:26 breaking light speed!

[PawnBACM]

@MrElSatan No way. They are doing good to transfer data at light speed. I don't know what is going on there, but it sure as hell isn't light speed. wiki - Its value is 299,792,458 metres per second, a figure that is exact since the length of the metre is defined from this constant and the international standard for time.[2] This speed is approximately 186,282 miles per second.

@PawnBACM it was a joke!

[PawnBACM]

@PawnBACM It would be cool. Sometimes it's difficult to tell from the posts. A thousand apologies. Have a good one.

I hate that people are saying that this is somekind of UFO or missile or meteorite

[Krystova]

I like how it conveniently cuts out at 1:23 and the new object appears. Seems tampered with?..

Ear-Responsible

[maksphoto78]

@Krystova No, it's simply a break in filming. It's still the same rocket exhaust, except that at such high altitude it's in the sunlight. The lanuch was at around 6am local time.

[maksphoto78]

@Krystova Watch the uninterrupted amateur footage watch?v=EQzja1WpZPc

You can see the exhaust fanning out as the rocket reaches the upper atmosphere (and sunlight).
