This one's from 2007, but only saw it posted recently by Phil Plait.

On June 7, 2007, a Delta II rocket launched from Vandenberg Air Force
Base in California. Knowing full well this event was taking place, Air Force Staff
Sergeant Eric Thompson, an instructor with the 532nd Training Squadron, figured
he knew a place that might provide a better view than usual.
