Space shuttle launches. I've seen basically every one that's happened in my lifetime since I grew up like 30 miles from Cape Canaveral, we'd watch the initial launch on TV then run outside to watch the shuttle rise over the trees in the yard. The solid rocket boosters glow and you could see them separate and fall back down.
The first time I drove out to the coast to watch as an adult my friend and I were sitting along the intracoastal and some dolphins came up to say hi while we were waiting.
