I'm lucky enough to live in a place where I get so see every launch from Kennedy from my front yard if I choose. I've seen hundreds of launches, not on TV or YouTube, but with my own eyes. Years and years of launches. I've been busy for the past few weeks and haven't been paying attention to the launch schedules, so I won't pretend to know which company or organization launched the rocket you posted, but from the looks of the other comments, it was SpaceX. Don't know which facility it launched from, or when...
...but this is 1000% a space rocket.
Just look up rocket launch night footage. I have dozens of videos just like yours.
Its a space rocket, count yourself lucky you got a cool view, not many people get that chance.

Florida launches are only SpaceX and ULA for now. ULA has launched three times this year, SpaceX has launched 46 times from Florida. Just guessing SpaceX has a >90% chance to be right.
It's a Falcon 9 launching Starlink Group 8–9.

I used to live in Melbourne. I got pissed one day when I thought the neighbor kids were banging on my house. Turns out it was the sonic booms from the shuttle landing. Was also really cool seeing a rocket go up while playing on the softball fields in Coco.
