Well you must be pretty bad at spotting photoshopping because this wasn't photoshopped. This is a legitimate screenshot, not joking. I'm legitimately wondering if anyone has seen this before. I don't think so because I wasn't throttled up at all, and the exhaust acted exactly like a rocket taking off like it would on Kerbal, except much faster due to Duna's lower gravity. Yeah I've seen that, but the reason i brought this here was because of the way it actually moved like a rocket entering orbit, and I was throttled down all the way. My plane was moving fast, but was decelerating quickly, also the exhaust, once I got closer, didn't move with the plane as that glitch tends to, at least when I've encountered it. The object stayed in the same place relative to where it was launching, so I could get closer, but eventually the exhaust cut off as if it ran out of fuel.

I'm not kidding. I knew there would be people like this but I'm being serious. That's a screenshot, I don't have photoshop on my computer, only GIMP 2 (I'll admit that) but all this is is an untouched screenshot.

YES! I found this while attempting to land a spaceplane on Duna. Everyone I've talked to has never seen it before I have no idea how it happened. I saw a rocket taking off from the surface of Duna while flying the spaceplane in the atmosphere close to the ground. It's definitely not debris from my ship, 1. because all the debris is still orbiting the sun and 2. because the "rocket" is not labeled as debris, with the gray reticule and distance measurement. I followed it as best I could and the exhaust reacted the same way as a player's rocket's exhaust would, so it was definitely a rocket. At the top of the exhaust I can see a darker, gray-greenish rocket-shaped object that appears to be emitting the exhaust. After reverting back to my quicksave I went to the same spot and indeed the exact same thing happened. However, there is no base or space port place it came from. It just takes off. This is only the 2nd time I've been to Duna, and the first was a probe pod that was not capable of leaving the atmosphere and also had no fuel left, and was on the opposite side of the planet. This rocket appeared to travel quickly to the upper atmosphere, and arced into what seemed to be an orbit, and then the exhaust cut off and I couldn't find the object anymore. Maybe it became one of those unidentified objects? I have no idea but this was very weird.
