The passengers of the flight recently saw an incredible sight from their windows.

Travelers on board a United Airlines flight flying over Cape Canaveral in Florida were amazed by the sight of a rocket being launched from the ground.

The images of the SpaceX Falcon 9 spacecraft leaving Earth were taken by American photojournalist Nick Leimbach, who called it one of the "coolest" objects he had ever seen.

Looking down at the NASA Space Center Kennedy, he took to Twitter to share an impressive moment.

He said:

"One of the coolest things I've ever seen."

The launch of the Falcon 9 was part of Elon Musk's SpaceX mission to deliver people and cargo into space into Earth orbit.

The incredible footage, captured on November 26, 2022, was the launch of the new Cargo Dragon 2 spacecraft, Dragon C211, connected to the Falcon 9 spacecraft.
