But people up and down the East Coast could see what\u2019s called a \u201cjellyfish\u201d effect from the launch. <\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">Meteorologist Eboni Deon says a \u201cjellyfish cloud,\u201d or noctilucent cloud, is visible when rockets launch just before sunrise and as they get up higher in the atmosphere they enter the sunlight. That light illuminates it. Noctilucent clouds are thin cirrus-like clouds made up of ice crystals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">Several Channel 2 Action News viewers in the Pendergrass and Braselton area sent us photos and videos of their sky views. WSOC-TV, our sister station in Charlotte, also received reports across North Carolina. <\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">Have any photos or videos of the Starlink launch?
