I've bookmarked it.

I guarantee if there if a new Pak-India conflict - someone will tweet this video as proof of an Indian missile strike on Pak or an Indian missile missing it's target 😂

That's assuming it's recent itself and isn't another old video being reused here 🤦🏻‍♂️

Found this on Reddit on some of the aviation/defense feeds. Pilot was on the Arabian Gulf off of Doha/UAE at around 00:35 UTC in which they saw this towards Iran. Seems like it could be from the missile launch (according to the comments).
 
Can someone help me understand why do ICBMs, or BMs, or HGVs for that matter cause these clouds type formations ?
Twilight phenomenon is produced when exhaust particles from missile or rocket propellant left in the vapor trail of a launch vehicle condense, freeze, and then expand in the less dense upper atmosphere. The exhaust plume, which is suspended against a dark sky, is then illuminated by reflective high-altitude sunlight through dispersion, which produces a spectacular, colorful effect when seen at ground level. A similar effect is the space jellyfish. The phenomenon typically occurs with launches that take place either 30 to 60 minutes before sunrise or after sunset when a booster rocket or missile rises out of the darkness and into a sunlit area, relative to an observer's perspective on the ground. Because rocket trails extend high into the stratosphere and mesosphere, they catch high-altitude sunlight long after the sun has set on the ground. The small particles in the expanding exhaust plume or "cloud" diffract sunlight and produce the rose, blue, green and orange colors

Pakistan has a habit of recycling boosters and using those across different platforms. It doesnt mater what booster was that. What matters is what it was boosting?
