NASA Launch - Passing through SUN DOG causes visible ripples to cover sky!!!

As the Solar Launch Dynamics Observatory was launched on Feb. 11th, a strange eerie effect was caused in the sky above. When this new government project was launched, the sonic boom of the launch vehicle going supersonic occurred while it was passing through a SUN DOG.

A sun dog is a prismatic bright spot in the sky caused by sun shining through ice crystals. The Atlas V rocket exceeded the speed of sound in this layer of ice crystals, making the shock wave visible from the ground.

Very unusual effect in the sky!

Very cool video! Thanks much for sharing that; I've seen many sundogs. Have never seen a rocket passing through one. You can hear the announcer in the clip noting that the Atlas has just gone supersonic. Here's a slow-motion of the same clip:

Pedant away........ I always appreciate your clarifications, Phage. Cheers

just sayin.

Yeah man. NO WAY that was done by a rocket


Seriously, that is incredibly awesome. If I didn't know it was real I'd have thought the ripples were CGI

Here it is from another angle, starts at about 9:45

Cirrus clouds occur above 20,000 feet but not much more than 40,000 feet.

The SDO is in Earth orbit so it did not have to reach escape velocity but the rocket could very well have been beyond the speed of sound when it passed through the cloud layer. The shock waves are produced continuously by any object flying faster than the speed of sound.

(You weren't paying attention, were you?)

I find this entertaining.

Anyhow, for those of you without the youtube, here are some screenshots taken before the sonic boom. In the last image, the boom has begun to occur and some of the effects are visible:

*I wonder what Hoagland will say when he gets ahold of this one?

Torsion fields and beam weapons? Oh My!

I bet he'll go on Coast to Coast and everything. There'll probably be a 'paper' too.

Maybe he will say that one can see the beam hitting the rocket, which is the cause of that bright spot which is visible after the first screenshot.

Since the rocket was not destroyed, perhaps he will say it was us (USA) testing a new armour/shielding to protect against beam weapons.... But he will add that if it was an attack by our enemies or a weapons test by us, the intent may have been to disable the satellite being launched and not the rocket launching it. I predict Hoagland will cover all the bases with his theory; and possibly even suggest that was a failed attack that was hindered by our torsion field shield or that it was a false flag attack that will later be used to convince us we are under attack by aliens.

Either way, he will probably mark the day as a turning point in the Hyperdimensional Torsion Field Nazi Weapon War he has been taking about.
