NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) launched on February 11, 2010 at 10:23.00.2 A.M. EST from Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral. When the Atlas V broke the sound barrier, a visible shockwave rippled towards a sundog.

  • No chemtrails (whatever that is). No lens flare. It's a sundog which gets demolished by the rocket's shockwaves. Fret not, people viewing from other locations did not see the rocket pass near THEIR sundogs, and those didn't vanish. A sundog, like a rainbow, is an optical effect which depends on the location of the observer. No meteors either: that's condensation of an ice crystal cirrus cloud propagating at supersonic speed precipitated by passage of a shock wave through a whisp of water vapor.

  • Chemtrails are your friend. Without them millions of conspiracy theorists would be lost and adrift in society.
