The Ocean Isle Beach Pier, located north of Sunset Beach, North Carolina, shared a video of the rocket flying through the sky over the pier.
Ed Piotrowski explained the rocket was visible due to the angle of the sun. Although the sun had set by time the rocket was in the Myrtle Beach vicinity, the sun was still able to illuminate the spacecraft, making it visible in the sky.
