What was that strange streak in the sky early Thursday (August 8) morning? It was a rocket launching from Cape Canaveral, and it has Floridians talking.<br /><br />"I just had to stop and pull over. I thought it was a UFO! But it turns out it was that rocket," said Pastor Bob, the filmer.<br /><br />The Atlas V rocket is carrying the fifth Advanced Extremely High Frequency communications satellite for the U.S. Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center. This type of satellite provides “high-secure jam-proof connectivity” between the U.S. and deployed military forces, according to the rocket’s website.<br /><br />Early risers were able to witness the rocket blazing through the sky and hundreds took to social media to share their views.
