Narrative

I was watching the SpaceX launch on June 17 at 2:40 a.m. ET and noticed something unusual. On the ground-based tracking camera, an orb-like object appears to move through the top-right portion of the screen around T+3:08–3:09 after liftoff. Did anyone else catch this, or know what it might be? My first thought was an insect, lens flare, or debris close to the camera, but it seemed interesting enough to ask about. Here's a screenshot from the stream. submitted by /u/SpecialistAnteater44
