SpaceX Falcon 9 Launch Scheduled for February 18, 2025, at 6:06 PM (ET) from Cape Canaveral, Florida
We’ve observed that rocket launches, particularly those by SpaceX, often lead to a spike in sighting reports. This is understandable, as the unique plume and stage separations of the Falcon 9 can appear quite striking, especially during dusk or dawn.
To help minimize these posts, we kindly request that you:
- Verify your sighting before sharing. If your video or image was captured around the launch time and resembles the Falcon 9’s trajectory or appearance, it’s likely not a UFO.
- Check the launch schedule at RocketLaunch.Live to see if your observation coincides with a planned SpaceX or other rocket launch.
- Any posts or videos clearly depicting the Falcon 9 rocket (or another known launch) will be removed to keep the subreddit focused on genuine unexplained phenomena.
