Mystery Missile Launch Seen off Calif. Coast (video)

There has got to be a HEAVY amount of protocol to launch a missile like that.

There is no way they don't know about it.

That is a link to a webpage that shows several pictures of airliners that look exactly like the one that we saw earlier. Could this be what it was?

From Fox News: "According to Fox News, NORAD and NORTHCOM would only say they were aware of the launch."

^ So they knew about it.

As long as it doesn't arc eastward and turn some poor city into a smoldering heap of ash.

As much money as we feed the Pentagon beast with, you'd think they could keep track of things that could end LIFE ON THE PLANET.

I'm sure they kept track of it quite well, if they didn't do it themselves. What they don't do is hold themselves accountable to the people, that went away a long time ago whenever lying for the sake of national security became acceptable. Once they have that they can do almost anything they want and say anything they want.

Well the contrail in those pictures are a lot less deceptive when you see them in person due to having depth perception, not that I saw this current issue in person.
 
ABC News just tried to pass it off as an unique looking contrail. They said the helicopter pilot was probably confused and just saw an optical illusion due to the odd angle.

Upon reflection, no pun intended, seeing as this was taken at sunset, it makes it more possible that it was indeed a contrail. I don't know of course, but sunset will change atmospheric property as well as visual properties.

Seriously? Do they just make up stuff as disinfo agents? Report, don't opinionate. (not really sure if that is a word, lol)
 
Of course they knew about it, its called saber rattling, aimed at
the Chinese for raising a ruckus over the fed doing quantitative easing,
they have to deny it.
 
That's VERY disturbing because it implies one of the following:

1- The government is outright lying to us
2- Left hand doesn't know what right hand is doing (not a good thing when it comes to nuclear warheads and the vehicles that carry them)
3- It was a government other than the United States that launched it.


I'm not liking this :(

Great points. Way to turn me into a conspiracy theorist :-P
 
My first thought was that it was China returning Bernanke's fire. (Denninger is convinced. Check out the comments section too.)

They have just about had it with the imbeciles in Washington.

I knew it was swamp gas

LOLOLOL, they already got the physics guys drawing parabolas and saying it was a jet contrail.
 
This is what you get when you have a bureaucracy where no one knows where the funding goes, how much, and to what projects...the left hand ends up not knowing what the right hand is doing.

Chalk one up for "national defense!"
 
L.A. ‘mystery missile’ may have been errant launch, experts say http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2010/11/la-mystery-missile-may-have-been-errant-launch.html

Military officials remain stumped about the mysterious projectile spotted in the sky off the Southern California coast, but aerospace experts said it appeared to be an errant missile launch.

Pentagon officials are looking into what they have called an "unexplained contrail" after a KCBS news helicopter shot video late Monday of a luminous point hurtling through the sky followed by a long vapor trail.

Each branch of the military has denied involvement, and the Pentagon has been cryptic about the object and who may have launched it. Despite this, officials said the event was not a threat to national security. They also said it was not a launch by a foreign military.

While rocket launches are a common sight in Southern California, getting proper authorization is a weeks-long process. Authorities that oversee commercial and military launches have denied any knowledge of a scheduled launch.

The Federal Aviation Administration did not approve any commercial space launches around the area Monday, said spokesman Ian Gregor. In addition, the agency did not receive reports of any unusual sightings from pilots who were flying in the area.

After reports of the event, the agency ran radar replays of a large area west of Los Angeles and did not spot any fast-moving, unidentified targets in that area.

Officials at nearby military bases where rocket launches regularly take place also said they were not involved.

Aerospace experts who reviewed the footage said the size of the plume suggests it was a large military rocket or missile.

"The launch of a rocket that size doesn't belong to any commercial entity without them issuing a press release," said Marco Caceres, analyst with Teal Group Corp., a Fairfax, Va.-based aerospace research firm. "It can't belong to anyone but the military."

The lack of explanation from the Pentagon makes Caceres believe it may have been a mistake -- perhaps a defense exercise launched by accident.

Based on the footage, it is unclear where exactly the missile was coming from, but many analysts believe it originated near Naval Air Station Point Mugu in Ventura County, where missiles and missile defense exercises are regularly carried out.

Officials at the base, however, denied it was their missile.

"It didn't happen here," said Naval Base Ventura County spokeswoman Teri Reid. "There was no firing on the range yesterday."

The military also operates a floating ocean platform and regularly carries out tests at San Nicolas Island, one of the Channel Islands.

Riki Ellison, founder and chairman of the Missile Defense Advocacy Alliance, said it could have been launched from an island off the mainland or a submarine in the Pacific Ocean.

In any case, if this were a planned event, military officials would have known weeks in advance.

"There is a safety routine that the government goes through," Ellison said. "Everything needs to be cleared away. They're not going to take any risks."

Layers of Bureaucracy are bad . That mostly occurs in govt . Not so much wth Navy and Air Force weaponry .
