I'll Hafta look at it again, I didn't see where it appeared suspended. I can't look now though as I'm only on via my iPhone.

Actually if you watch the video the whole way through you can clearly see that it's moving. Midway through it apears as there is some type of burst that happens...perhaps a secondary booster firing? Pretty hard to tell. Certainly doesn't apear to be a meateor to me though as they fall through the atmoshpere at tremendous speeds. You would only see if for a few seconds.

taken from site
This was actually filmed on June 4, 2010. It was a launch out of the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station Launch Complex 40, this is the active Falcon 9 launch site(new program when space shuttle retires). this was the SpaceX's Falcon 9 Spaceflight Launch System. this is a two-stage-to-orbit vehicle. Here, I will explain how it was seen in eastern Australia and Asia.
PART 1... Shortly after clearing the tower, the vehicle begins a combined pitch and yaw maneuver (to the west in this case, because that is where the mission position, in space was), that positions the vehicle with the launch pad during the ascent phase. This orientation allows a trim angle of attack that is favorable for aerodynamic loads during the region of high dynamic pressure, resulting in a net positive load factor. The vehicle climbs in a progressively FLATTENING arc, accelerating as the weight of the fuel decreases. To achieve low orbit, requires a MUCH MORE HORIZONTAL (towards asia) than vertical acceleration (towards space, at near Max-Q).
PART 2... This is not visually obvious(from launch site), since the vehicle rises vertically and is out of sight for most of the horizontal acceleration.
The horizontal flight, was what you see here in this video, and the start of the second stage (after Max-Q) accelerating as it was ready to go vertical into space. The second stage engine performed a short second burn to demonstrate its multiple firing capability. The second stage began to slowly roll near the end of its burn which was not expected, and the first stage parachutes failed to open causing it to be damaged upon landing (Falcon 9 is a re-usable system).
The halo from the venting of propellant from the Falcon 9 rocket as it rolled in space could be seen from all of Eastern Australia and Asia, which lead some to believed it was a UFO. The Falcon 9 maiden launch occurred on June 4, 2010 and was deemed a success, placing the test payload within 1 percent of the intended orbit.

looks like a comet/Meteor or somerthing on those lines to me. The real UFOs change direction and stuff.
. In one of the apollo missions they reported seeing a UFO. But that was brushed under the rug pretty quickly too

lol, yeah but on TV they are always glowing fiery rocks launching through space...
Maybe it's not a REAL meteor and it just plays one on tv? hehe but the shuttle makes perfect sense...
Yeah, see... I wasn't to far off in description...
