maintenanceguy - Thanks for the heads up, got to see this one. After the launch they announced the next one would be the evening/night of December 15th.

That one was pretty cool but when I saw the first one it was even cooler. We were at the Delsea Drive in watching a movie and didn't know about the launch. We were just sitting there watching that stupid movie where that guy and Jenifer Anistin running drugs, anyway just to the right of the screen this huge bright light goes straight up and then dims out. Then it lights up again and goes sideways right across the top of the screen. We thought it was a freaking UFO or something. I thought it was Japans revenge or something from a submarine.

Here is a of photo taken from North Wildwood. Found it at this link http://watchthetramcarplease.com/photo-of-the-day-minotaur-1-rocket-as-it-lights-up-night-sky-in-north-wildwood/

 

Was at work and found out about the launch literally 2 minutes before lift off.

 

North Edison, great view. Even got to see the 4 stage stage ignition.

 

Saw the launch in September from the mountains of New Hampshire, thought that was cool. Was at Wallops for the simultaneous 5 rocket launch last year.

 

Always enjoy watching a launch.

 

FYI, that rocket last night carried 29 satellites!
