Debating a Widely Seen UAP Image: The SpaceX Off-Gassing Hypothesis and Parallax Explanations

To the point

An online discussion by flarkey, Mick West, NorCal Dave, Mendel, and Minus0 argues that a widely seen UAP tied to a Joe Rogan appearance is best explained as SpaceX rocket off-gassing, citing 2023–2024 similar sightings and Starlink G6-1 launch data to show how the rocket could appear stationary and then move, with mentions of NOTAMs/PIREPs, a Ryan Graves correspondence, and even a debunking-style educational angle, but overall leaning toward a SpaceX-related natural explanation while acknowledging uncertainties.
