[AZ-Observing] Re: Vandenberg Rocket Launch

Thanks Brian,

I do not think it was a cirrus cloud as it seemed lower and just one. 
It was pretty ragged like a smoke trail, but much wider than 
contrails. It caught my attention as up to that point it was clear 
with no sign of any clouds over Phoenix.
