Description

Alright so after looking up a couple videos, I feel like I’m pretty confident what everyone saw over Texas (and nearby states) was a rocket going through staging.

I don’t know what rocket it was. Nor do I understand the physics behind how it might shoot a cloud of smoke in front of the craft as its traveling at high speeds - but alas, this video on the link shows a very similar phenomena, specifically at 3:35 when it shoots a ring of smoke in front from the rocket that seperated. Not exactly what we see in the videos, but very very similar phenomena.
