SpaceX rocket creates glowing “space jellyfish” effect over Myers, Florida, USA

On October 20, 2026, in Myers, Florida, USA, @DoubleObes7 shared a video showing a SpaceX rocket visible in the morning sky. In the video, the rocket appears as a bright object moving across the sky, leaving behind a long, glowing trail that gradually expands into a wide, fan-shaped plume. According to reports, SpaceX launched its Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station at 7:04 a.m. EDT that morning. The Bandwagon-5 mission carried 32 payloads into orbit, including small satellites and reentry vehicles. The rocket’s exhaust created a striking “space jellyfish” effect as sunlight illuminated the plume high in the atmosphere, making it visible from areas far from the launch site, including Myers. The rocket’s first-stage booster later landed on a droneship in the Atlantic Ocean, completing its 19th flight.
