I saw it from Maryland. I was out looking for the Atlas comet (no luck) on a mostly clear evening, but there is too much moisture and light pollution where I live. But, scanning the sky with my marine binoculars, I saw a rather fast moving "comet like" thing that looked like the rear view of a rocket exhaust, travelling from roughly south to roughly east of my position. That was at 7:39 pm EDT. By the way the exhaust was fanning out, I think it was the upper stage and already mostly out of the atmosphere.
BTW, the article says the launch occurred at 7:31 pm EDT, while the article sub header says "Liftoff occurred at 10:31 p.m. ET tonight (Oct. 18)." And, I was reading that before 9 pm EDT. And, it seems to indicate that Mike Wall published the story about 6:30 pm.
So, somebody please get Mike a wristwatch that keeps proper time. (Or maybe proof-read his stuff for him?)
