A Youtube user with the nickname JACOB TVTM ZONE lifted the rocket Delta-2. Here's what they wrote:

Nasa launched the latest rocket Delta-2. At this point, I just woke up and saw this object. At first I thought it was a shooting star, but then I thought that it is going up, so that's not it. Then I saw the news about the launch on TV and immediately comprehended what it saw.

Media support this conjecture, since from the spaceport Vandenberg in California launched a Delta II rocket, it will be put into orbit a satellite to study the polar ice of the Earth, ICESat-2.

Broadcast of the rocket launch leads NASA.
