My initial reaction is super skeptical...but I'll let those here who are more skilled (& motivated) at determining locations, etc., address the bulk of it. As far as the audio, wouldn't it be easy to add whatever audio one wanted, days, weeks, or...

I've lightly updated Sitrec to import both the JSON files you can (theoretically) scrape from the 3D viewer, https://flightclub.io/result/3d?missionId=mis_1oygy1eww You'd want the call to simulation, like...

It somewhat is

https://flightclub.io/ offers 3d modelling of rocket launches, particularly upcoming ones. Its a bit harder to find historical launches but they can be found... https://www.spacelaunchschedule.com/launch/falcon-9-block-5-starlink-group-6-103/...

Yesterday, I became aware of the unofficial r/SpaceXAPI and was going to have a look at what info is available. Maybe worth a look @Mick West ? [edit: doesn't look useful for this application, can't see any tracking data]

Tons of clips out there, and it becomes obvious whenever there's a "new bandwagon" to jump on. As an example, a few months age there was a clip of a mother (I don't recall which was first: deer, otter, leopard, etc) depositing her young one with...

In case you guys wanna see more about the Rede Globo Documentary, João Marcelo posted a compilation (subtitled in english) with the main findings of the new investigations. https://youtu.be/O2wCGzWwgsc?si=1SMGQMJGbijAba1W

Reportedly, youtube has started to crack down on AI content. This may be the reason why some videos in this thread went missing. Here's a human trying to beat AI at its game. The fish tank toilet turned out really well. Source...

I've seen people touting apps that are supposed to alert you when a launch is going to be visible, but I don't know where they get their data from or how well they work. Most of the Vandenberg launches seem to come over us in Southern California...
