This amateur video (which is really awesome) captures a rocket exceeding the speed of sound and passing through a sun dog, creating a visually stunning rippling effect, akin to a UFO.

Very cool Gary. My kids are going to get a kick out of watching this  :)

Absolutely incredible, Gary. I saw video of the launch, but wasn't sure if it was legitimate.  :)

Brian, that was another cool video there.  I actually got goose bumps, I could feel everyone's excitement.  To see that in person would be very cool!!     :o
