| In the first frame set, the red streak rising and moving to the left is the rocket. The rocket fades, but is still just visible as it moves towards the left side of the frame. In the second frame set, the rocket brightens again but quickly disappears. The assumption is that the second stage separated just before it disappeared. It also appears to be chased by a foreground airplane, which, in the third frame set, rises up and out of the frame. The bright stationary object in the lower part of the second and third frame sets is the planet Venus. |
