anyone watch NASA teevee prior and through launch?

I'm not sure if I should ask this but about 12 minutes prior to launch I thought I saw 3 circular lights fly through the launch zone.

Left to Right, that would be from the Atlantic Ocean to the shoreline of the country..

It was not birds, at least no birds that I know can fly as fast as these things were going.

Just wondering.

2. good, bad, or indifferent

ya missed something to be proud of.

Even if the masters want to leave this planet and live on another...all I can say is, "don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya"

but,

I thought I saw 3 high speed flying units move across the airspace of the Kennedy Space Center., and I mean "high speed".

Thanks.

4. Why should I be proud...

Of an endeavor largely funded by billionaires and whose pockets will likely be filled in the process.

I also find it difficult to be “proud” of the efforts of sports teams whose players earn millions and their owners whose wealth is in the billions.

I know. You can make all sorts of arguments about the military and defense contractors involvement in our space efforts from the beginning. But the endeavor to put humans on the moon was driven by the inspiration and leadership of President Kennedy and the expertise of government agencies and government employees before those agencies were stripped to the bone by republicans over the ensuing 50 years.

3. Yes, but I don't recall what you're describing. There are clips of the feed on YouTube...

...so you ought to be able to find one with the view you saw.

Below is the WaPo's coverage, which I'm using because it has two of the external views I saw during the feed. The T minus 12 minute mark is at 2:20:00, but I watched from T-16 thru T-10 and I didn't notice anything. Was what you saw from a different camera viewpoint?
