Narrative:
I was flying VFR from kmev at 13500 ft and passed between the llc VOR and the carson sink restricted area. I saw on my ipad after I had passed the llc VOR that there was a round tfr with the same radius as the VOR radial which I think had a 7 mile radius to 60;000 ft of altitude for rocket launch. This was not noted on the FAA tfr map that I had checked and printed in the morning prior to flight and was not showing on my garmin 750 as a tfr. I was receiving flight following at the time and was not told anything about the tfr either. I noticed the tfr on the way back as well. I was IFR returning due to the smoke from the fires. It was not noted on the FAA tfr list or map on the tfr website and it only showed up on my foreflight on the ipad. I am unsure if this was a tfr or was it something wrong with the information on the foreflight ipad?
