It wasn't a launch from Wallops. I live much much closer and have watched many launches. You would have to be pretty close for a launch to look like this. Also, no launch took place on the 20th.

Thank you for the answer. I didn't know I could view it from here in Toronto!

Yeah, the Toronto area was inside the visibility circle of a launch from there about 120 seconds or so after liftoff...

It's surprising how far away you can see those things...

I mean they are going into orbit so it takes a LOT of distance for the curvature of the earth to block the view of an orbital launch...

Yeah I just saw that...They were aiming for a 4pm window today so I just figured it went...

Didn't know they scrubbed it again...

Wallops sure does have trouble launching on schedule...

The weather around here sucks...lol
