    This was from the previous attack in April right? Technically the first time a missile has been intercepted out of the earth’s atmosphere I think.

  2. It could just be the twilight effect and not necessarily that the rocket was intercepted in outer space. Israel has intercepted a Houthi missile in outer space before but this effect is consistent with the twilight effect which happens in a thinner part of our atmosphere called the mesosphere.

  3. At least something got intercepted… Most strikes landed… Those missles are a pain the the fuck

    The first time I have ever witnessed something like *this*. Never imagined it would look like it.. disintegrates after exploding?
    Incredible.

  6. I don’t believe that was an explosion in space per say.

    Rather the explosion was just high enough that it refracted the sunlight over the horizon that people on the ground could no longer see. You see a similar effect with SpaceX launches and those stunning images of rockets leaving glowing trails in the sky.

    It would imply this video was shot either early evening or early morning.

    Additionally, it’d also just be plain impossible for a phone camera to pick up such an explosion on video from the ground.
