Does anyone think there was an actual missile that got intercepted or failed in flight? I could see the intelligence community keeping this under wraps in order to keep tensions from inflating.

NORAD is staffed 25 hours a day 8 days a week. I would think they would know if a missile launch occurred and a missile is inbound somewhere.
Yes or No?
Hawaii Gov. David Ige said there wasn't a process in place to send out a message stating "that this is a false alarm."

Last year on January 3, 2017, emergency warning sirens across Oahu and a few on Kauai went off accidentally at approximately 8:07 a.m. Today a false alert was sent out about a missile threat in bound to Hawaii at 8:07 a.m. Wonder who was working these shifts the past 2 years?

A Civil Defense employee is set to be retrained after a shocking blunder on Saturday morning, when a mistaken alert warning of an inbound ballistic missile sent thousands fleeing for shelter.
The false alarm was caused by a Hawaii Emergency Management Agency employee who 'pushed the wrong buttons' during an internal drill timed to coincide with a shift handover at 8.07am. The all-clear phone alert was not sent until 38 minutes later.

Guess that's the 'official' story.
