Lot of attention being drawn for a Top Secret mission.

Do rockets always look so beautiful when cruising through the skies? That is one sexy rocket.

I heard they are doing it again tonight?

But it's a Top Secret mission, how did you hear? The news? I guess at this point if the military is firing off missiles again they may as well tell the public ahead of time. Didn't the military know how much attention this would have drawn? Now I'm curious about this mission.

THEY didn't spent it ALL on THAT ...they had to spread it around their SAPs.

Not ALL of them. Just a few.

When I said "nuke the Chinese" I meant that you should have put the takeaway in the microwave".

So Cal is all clouded up tonight and it's chilly out there.

Stay calm people this is only a test. If this were an actual
emergency you would all be dead.

Well, from what I'm reading they do cost that much each, -/+ a few million.

The 130,000-pound Trident II D5 missile can travel 20,000-feet per second and reach ranges of 4,000 nautical miles, according to Navy figures. The missiles cost $30 million each.

Wow lol...

They know full well that they cause mass hysteria, you'd think they'd put out a public notice to all people in an area before doing these things.

To save the complete media outcry from bob and betty backyard screaming "Wassat, issa UFO!!"

It's not like people are peering under the tent and whispering "What ya doing in there!!" - they're doing this in your night sky.

If I were to blow things up over a city, I'd get in trouble....

Mass hysteria? Really?

If I were to blow things up over a city, I'd get in trouble....

Yes, you would.

BTW, what was blown up over a city?

I wonder if everyone in LA waved goodbye to their tax dollars as it whizzed past their heads ?

Reminds of a certain late 1980's era
Oregon coast exercise done with a
plasma ball generator...that was fun!

Looked very similar .... Your photo is

Coming out of the bottom tho...... ;-) :-)

Nice long exposure photo and good
Composition .... I am impressed!

Unless they were pretty far out to sea, it didn't whiz past their head.
It went zooming off to the west.

Sometimes after they get up high it looks like a ghostly shimmering hourglass.

it sucked.. i was on the beach right in the area it burned up.. everyone with kids were running.. not cool to have a nuke flying at u..

a reply to: tonycodes
It didn't burn up.
And it was moving away from you.
Nor was it a nuke, though you could not really know that it was unarmed.

Do you think it is possible they are doing these tests over a highly populated area
precisely because the internet was so abuzz about the Russians Bulava tests?

Because between the speculation of it being a UFO, or portal to another dimension, or whatever,
Everyone ended up learning it was Russia testing neat looking weaponry.

Kinda gave everyone the impression Russia is moving on ahead of us in the area, to the public.
I can see the US wanting to counter that....get their own buzz going...
