View submission: What was this object
I'm sorry, english isn't my native tongue so maybe I wasn't clear.
Why should "rocket launch schedule" be the first thing someone thinks of/searches if they're "new to this sub" and "don't already know it's a rocket"
I said that if you're *not* new to this sub then you would know that most of these sightings are rockets. I mean that if you know it is a rocket then there is no need to confirm it by i.e looking up at the schedule (to see if any where scheduled in your area). For example: if I were to see something like this, I'm aware that most sightings are rockets and I the first thing I would to is to confirm or rule it out by checking the schedule. If someone is new to this sub wouldn't have that idea.
This discussion started with someone saying "[..] It's a rocket. How do we all not know by now?" and the other person replying with "That's the thing, one day it won't be spacex or a rocket.". I just meant that it is very easy to verify if that is or isn't a rocket.
But I fully understand that if someone is new to the sub they wouldn't think of a rocket and to look it up. I am no astronomy expert myself and I agree that these things aren't obvious.
