Details:
Rocket launch from Vandenberg Space Force Base this evening was visible from northern Arizona. Recent trajectories for the SpaceX Starlink flights have been to the southeast and parallel to the US/Mexico coast. This launch, however, had a trajectory to the southwest and, as a result, the rocket and plume were much lower in the sky.
