It's bright because it's in the sunlight, outside of earths shadow. The exhaust gasses expand out rapidly past a certain point because there is very little atmosphere to push back on the gas, so it continues to expand outward.
The Falcon 9 rocket has a stage that disconnects and lands on its own. The main rocket needs to be at a 90-degree angle to achieve velocity to escape Earth's orbit to achieve maximum fuel efficiency.

Why in other video's do you see it taking off and disappear into the sky during the day. But then we see it in other videos at night going across the sky and not even straight up anymore? No there's probably a very easy to explanation to explain that. So can anyone answer that?
Rockets that send things to orbit don't go straight up, they go up then over. You can see it a for a lot longer at night because the engines are so bright.
Because of the time of day, the sun has set but it's still the last minutes of twilight in the filming location. As the rockets altitude increases it travels into the sunlight again which accentuates the second stage exhaust plume and the first stage flip and boostback burn inside it. Amazing sight wish i could have seen it in person and not on the space x live stream
You’re right and sheeple will always believe anything the media tells em. I have a ton of family and friends in the military and who are astronauts and they all said the exact same thing
honestly Ronald I cannot tell you exactly but I will say that is it has been 100% confirmed to me by people who actually do that for a living that it was no rocket launch.
Nad Bas thanks for replying Nad, Merry Christmas to you and yours. No one seems to be talking about the destination of all these lights. Don't know if you have but thier is a lot of nice videos to see, especially the one from Alhambra CA.

Dyl Connaway and that the things spinning is the trousers purged out of the rocket for the little on to go higher.
Right both of you
Thank you shuttrbg22! Nice job!
Красота, молодцы.
everyone at my sis school said : ITS SANTA!!!!
I think it would have been better if they thought it was aliens...
kahoot !
Who’s at school at 5:30 pm.....
Headass
Great video! You nailed it.
Looks awesome
Can’t leave I got to watch this while driving on the freeway!
Ryan Snowden tf
I was at vacation in usa in 1.5 months and I was 7 at the time and I remember looking in the sky and seeing this bright light
Great video!
Any time you hear a kid asking "what settings?" you know he has a photographer for a parent. Not bad for 800 ISO.
Great video. Wish I’d been there.
dad,what settings?
Круто,хело хуб, зурай
Fantastic!
Post those pics the kid was taking!
SO COOL
Can I re upload this
You are right, rockets never did look like this but then again we have never had rockets that can land vertically on there own
Very cool
2:30 do you see the white dot of light appear then disappear?
Beautifull
Tại sao thứ đó và những làng khói kia có thể phát sáng giữa bầu trời đêm ?

Why wasn't the launch announced in advance?!
It was. Months ago. You should check space news more often. We were all watching it live on SpaceX's channel.
WHY DIDN'T THEY CALL MY HOUSE TO TELL ME THEY WERE GOING TO LAUNCH A ROCKET??!! THIS IS ALL THEIR FAULT FOR MAKING ME THINK WE WERE BEING INVADED!!
+1 to the other guys saying it was... i knew about this launch last week. simple search for "SpaceX Launch Schedule" will give you results
SpaceX launched falcon 9 on the 15th not the 22nd

12-22-17 X 9 Falcon all prime numbers..
I saw the smoke dissipating and glowing in the dusk sky.
Wow!!!
I legit thought the whole thing was the ship and I was like "why is it getting bigger???"
imagine the conspiracy theories for that
I saw this on my way to the gym
At 00:30 it starts leaving the atmosphere
I live in Florida, and I've seen many launches, but never like this.
because this one is the Falcon , also most of the video the falcon was already in the outer space the sun what made it looks so bright .
This is a falcon 9 launch, the first landing rocket
They launch rockets all the time. Go look up launch dates online
WOW
Man On The Moon

Matt Simmons hmmmm that is something to think about. Thank you for replying
Any time! Let me know if you have any other questions! :-D
This is a low level orbital satellite launch. So I assume that's why it has such a low launch pattern

Elon Musk. The man has some very cool toys.
And he shares them with the world.
Pissing off the spoiled baby government who wants you to see their toys but never get to play with them.
Did anyone notice the 2 small lights appearing then camerman zoomed away
No?
separation ?
I seen it I thought it was a comet or missle
I live in lompoc 🤗
I was taking a poop and i didnt see it :*
Who else felt like it?
either 1 that is an alien or 2 I can't say or somethings coming
"why Is there a part falling?" - it's the first stage of the rocket being released to it's trip back home. Check SpaceX
they crashed it into the ocean tho.
LOOKS LIKE CALI WAS DUMPED ON
это были русские!
Rockets never used to look like that.. Hmmm
Those rockets were done by the government. Do you really expect them to look the same?
All rocket launched at dawn/dusk look like that, same happened in Florida no long ago with an Atlas V and many times in Russia with the Soyuz rockets.
JRMCNEA Space X is a private company
That was my point the rockets we "Used to see" were public rockets, where money was wasted and innovation was non-existent.
It looks like a blue whale :/
ALIENS! ALIENS! ALIENS! THOSE ARE ALIENS!!!
#dontfuckwithamerica
D:
IS THIS DANGEROUS TO THE PEOPLE BREATHING THIS SHIT & WHY LAUNCH IT OVER THE PUBLIC
no, it's not dangerous. downtown LA is actually more dangerous, CO2 levels are crazy high.
here's the link to Sky News' report - news.sky.com/story/elon-musks-spacex-rocket-lights-up-sky-leaving-californians-puzzled-11181799
cover up this is not a rocket launch total BS
You’re right and sheeple will always believe anything the media tells em. I have a ton of family and friends in the military and who are astronauts and they all said the exact same thing
Nad Bas good job on schooling them, very fishy man. What do you think it is. I too don't trust what is fed to me
Nad Bas I'm from LA and seen it
honestly Ronald I cannot tell you exactly but I will say that is it has been 100% confirmed to me by people who actually do that for a living that it was no rocket launch.
