I just spotted it. Didn't expect that! It was an orange point of light arcing into the sky and then it disappeared suddenly. There were tons of other planes in the sky in front of it blinking their lights in stark contrast to the constant orange rocket fire.

I watched it from the remarkably lazy position of indoors, at my bedroom window. :D
