Twilight phenomena

A twilight phenomenon (seen from the Louisiana-24 Long Range Tracking Telescope site in northern Santa Barbara county) lights up the night sky over Vandenberg Air Force Base following the launch of a Minuteman III missile September 19, 2002 (Official USAF Photo by Dennis Fisher, 30th Communications Squadron)
 The twilight phenomenon can be seen in the wake of a Minotaur I launch vehicle during its departure from Space Launch Complex 8 at Vandenberg AFB, Calif., Sept. 22, 2005. This effect is caused by unspent fuel freezing at high altitude. The frozen particles reflect sunlight below the horizon and display different colors against a dark background. (U.S. Air Force Photo by Staff Sgt. LeeAnn Sunn-Wagner)

Twilight phenomenon is produced when unburned particles of missile or rocket propellant and water left in the vapor trail of a launch vehicle condenses, freezes and then expands 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.
