NASA Jet Stream Study Will Light up The Night Sky

 

Vike Factor Note: I am sure this will be the cause of a number of sightings that may come in. Just a heads up.

 

Midnight Rocket Plumes:  On Tuesday, March 27th, between midnight and 3 am EDT, NASA plans a rapid-fire launch of five sounding rockets from the Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia.

 

The rockets will deliver a chemical tracer to the upper reaches of Earth's atmosphere, forming milky white plumes that reveal high-speed winds at the edge of space.

 

The display should be visible to the naked eye from coastal areas between South Carolina and New Jersey.
