[VIDEO] SpaceX Rocket Launch in the Capital Region Sky

NewsChannel 13 Video via Facebook

The capsule is headed out on its next mission with four people on board

It wasn't a shooting star, it wasn't a UFO, but the early morning sky was just dark enough on Tuesday to get a rare glimpse of the next rocket headed into space. Around 5:30am the capsule could be seen making its way into orbit over the skies of the Capital Region.

Christian from Gloversville caught the moment on camera in a video sent to NewsChannel 13 and posted to their Facebook

Four people are in the Falcon 9 rocket as part of the 'Polaris Dawn' mission. They are expected to be in space for three days before returning to Earth.
