The Naval Construction Battalion Center in Gulfport posted a warning to let residents know not to be alarmed. According to NCBC, the SpaceX capsule is expected to reenter the atmosphere around 9:30pm Monday. When that happens, residents along the coast may see a fireball for 5-10 minutes. A loud sonic boom may also be heard.

I remember seeing one back in 2002 ish in Slidell.
Left a tail prettyuch straight across the night sky at like 3am.
The boom was like 2 minutes delayed and about made me shite myself.
If it's clear outside, go outside and watch it. It's really incredible.

Yeah I too remember the Space Shuttle doing this over BR around that time. It’s awesome.

What’s the bright light 45% angle, down and left from the moon right now?

Venus.
No, that's not right.
Venus was to the right, but it has set

I assume that Eastern?
Can we see anything from St George if we look East?

Venus, I think. But it might be Jupiter. It's definitely another planet.

Swamp gas refracting off of Venus.

They just said 1033pm et splashdown on the stream. So I think that is central.

I’m offshore in Mississippi canyon. Supposed to be right over our head.

I haven't figured out who can see it.
Just told to look to the east and Southeast sky

If I’m north of Atlanta what direction am I looking? South-South west?

I found an article from nola.com saying that it may be visible from NOLA.
