What is this?
Yikes.
The ISS is supposed to be viewable in the early evening sky, in Santo Domingo, starting in Feb. and through Mar....
But that thing looks to be enormous and traveling at a great speed.
Whatever it is, it sure isn't a Chinese spy balloon.

International Space Station
See the International Space Station! As the third brightest object in the sky the space station is easy to see if you know when to look up.
And then there is this...

Perhaps another mid February fireball.
Meteorites all over the place.
Maybe add the D.R. to the list.
Mid February Fireballs – Three different meteorite falls recovered in three days
10 years after the Chelyabinsk event, 3 meteorite dropper fireballs occurred within 3 days in France, Italy and Texas

Could be the SpaceX satellites launched earlier today from Cape Canaveral https://www.space.com/spacex-starlink-launch-doubleheader-february-27
Looks very similar to the other Falcon 9 Space X launch that could be seen from the DR.
Good answer.
Things are getting hotter and hotter up there in space.
With Elon at the reins anything is possible.
Good and bad.
I was thinking this might be it but they launched after 7 pm Dominican time, and we saw this at 6:30 Dominican time. It was very weird.
Hunter Bidens next paycheck from China?
I myself thought it was one of those errant ballenas in Sosua doing a mega leap, but alas, conspiracy theorists: Science tells us it is a Space X Falcon 9 launched from FL. Of course, knowing the audience here, I am sure most of you believe it's Hilary Clinton launching the damning proof of her pizza-parlor basement child killing cabal into space. Science, feh. I myself believe it may be...an actual Space X Falcon 9 launched from Florida.
Just wanted to point out that we’re on the southern coast. Whatever this was, it was headed west. Kind of negates the possibility of it coming from Florida, no?
In the new age of "space exploration", which is all brand new , I wouldn't negate anything until we build up our knowledge of what's going on "up there". It's fascinating. BTW the link that someone posted on ISS is fantastic! I put myself of the subscriber list and I'm eady to fly. lol.
I have the answer. There was a Falcon 9 launch from St Croix yesterday, according to our niece who lives there. Mystery solved. No aliens in DR. 😊
I'm no expert on space but...
I am a fully paid up member in good standing of the dr1 lap top cop society.
It may have been the rocket or it may have been one of the satellites moving into position.
Whichever it is, it seems to be a foregone conclusion that that flare in the sky is related to Uncle Elon's rocket launch.
The above link takes you to a schedule of all Spacex launches.
I don't see anything from Ste. Croix.
