Did any of you just see the Space X launch AND booster recovery at Vandenberg AFB, it was live
 
Watched from my house in Tehachapi with the wife. Excuse the quality as they are cell pics.

Watching the first stage execute what amounted to a U turn was incredible. The live feed of the return landing was a huge contrast to the video of the capsule dangling from a parachute as they returned from the ISS.
 
Oh! That was what you posted on Insta! I couldn't figure it out, and thought it was either the moon through the clouds or aliens. :)
it was just after seperation, you can see stage 1 on the right and stage 2 continuing left behind the tree
 
I live in Vandenberg Village, just miles away from the launch complex. Some friends and I watched it from the back yard which has a perfect vantage point over the launch area. It was spectacular, to say the least! I only have cell phone pics which mirror the above photos, but in person it was absolutely stunning, colorful, LOUD and futuristic!
