Rocket launch 9/13/12 ?

[Ned Harris]

I caught this is the early morning sky off to the NE of Tucson. My first thought was rocket/missile launch. Anybody else catch this?

Yes Ned, but no camera. was walking in to work when I saw it. Always better to see it happen then look at the photos, loved it when the jet stream took the  contrail way out.
