attempt at humor, I should keep my day job. If I had one.
I was just a kid of 11 or 12 but I saw it too, passed right over us in Salt lake City. That is to say we saw the trail of it, didn't actually see the thing moving.
We thought it was a rocket from one of the local companies that built that stuff but dad said no way. He built that stuff. We didn't hear nuthin either.
Clip about where he worked when some experimental solid rocket propellant went bad.
