I live in SF and didn't see the clouds that morning... but did see the rocket launch. Even though it's relatively tiny in the sky being over 200 miles away, still very cool. I was able to see the initial boost phase (surprisingly clearly), the stage separation, the second stage continuing on its way and some of the booster maneuvering for landing... just illuminated dots on the sky with some faintly visible exhaust plume.
The reported "clouds" probably didn't really become visible until later, well after I went back inside.
- H8crilA 4y agoThese clouds are only visible before sunset or after sunrise. They're very weak and make themselves visible when the surface is in the shadow, but they are not thanks to their impressive an highly unusual altitude (they're well well above all weather).
- mrexroad 4y agoFYI, you have a typo. It should be “Before sunrise or after sunset”
