On August 31, 2004 the last Atlas 2 launch vehicle was launched carrying a payload for the National Reconnaissance Office. Ninety minutes later the Centaur upper stage overflew the Eastern Seaboard while outgassing extra propellants, just after local sunset. The expanding bow-tie shaped cloud was widely reported as a UFO.

This sequence was recorded with an Astrovid StellaCam EX and wide-field C-mount camera lens. The soundtrack is a time signal from the CHU shortwave station.

This sequence is flipped horizontally.
