May it was a missle test from out of Vandengburg AFB, in the early 90's they were notorious for test firing missle's without letting anyone know.

It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For, so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight"

hahah, a little culture for everyone today.

tsk tsk - Phage are you really saying it could be an aircraft to rebuke another posting, or

you really think it was an aircraft?

Your Tromso analysis was spot on - a missile test , so I'm perplexed.

Why would the news chopper video this if it were a jet liner. It looks vertical and ballistic to me.

Did I misunderstand?

(and where did this impact, if a missile?)

i am watching foxnews right now they are now talking about it as unexplained missle pentagon is denying everything of course so something is deffently going on they dont want to talk about

Yeah, something that I find strange is that the MSM seems to be trying to get to the bottom of this... usually, if the Pentagon wants something covered up, they will create a story, and the news will report the story the Pentagon feeds them. "Oh, it was a mis-identified plane. Nothing to see here folks." There is nothing like that in the MSM right now (to my knowledge)... it strikes me as odd.

The smoke trail was 35 miles west of LA, over the ocean, not from the Vandenberg AFB.

From the video, it was evidently angled westerly out over the ocean. Orbital missile launches are almost always to the East because it takes less thrust to go to orbit "with" the boost of the Earth's rotation. Westerly launches have to over come that handicap.

Personally, I'm angling toward a show of force for the folks in Asia. Questioin: Can a sub-launched ICMB from off the coast of LA reach any part of Asia? Of course, it wouldn't be allowed to go that far, but the actual distance it did travel would be telling to those possibly on the other end at some point. Aren't sub ICMB millsiles much smaller tha out silo missiles?

now fox is talking about it www.foxnews.com...

Mystery deepens with video of ‘launch’ off O.C.

sciencedude.ocregister.com...

Another one, in Key West, talked about here:
(VIDEO LINK - omitted to declutter post)

Looks like a jet contrail to me. A missile gets going quite a bit faster than that.

YES IT DOES look SLOWER than a typical ICBM, but still has a vertical 1st leg,

then a 2nd leg arc.......which begs the question then

was this an orbital hybrid craft ?? - alluded to in the post from the Arizona Nov 5th 'launch'

from Luke AFB? Link HERE

(EXCERPTED)".. I told him what I saw and said this had to be rocket powered. He simply said, "your'e correct. You do know they're retiring the space shuttle, right?" and I replied, "yes". He said, well, what you saw is the latest technology, it is rocket powered and it is orbital. It is to replace the space shuttle."

OK. Maybe it was a Chinese sub that launched a missile (seaward) as a show of force to us. That makes more sense than anything else given the denial from the military. (You know, like they deny UFOs.)

Did a little poking around and via comments elsewhere it looks like the missile could have been a test shot from San Nicolas Island which just happens to be a missile test facility run by the Air Force, which would nicely explain why Vandenburg said they didn't put anything up and the Navy said they did no launches either. Its a lot less scary a concept than a foreign nation letting one off the chain near our border (and well within the 200 mile buffer zone) but the simplest explanation seems to be the right one in many cases.

yeah we have a problem with telling people when we do things. it will be like 5 days later "hey we launched a missile a couple of days ago..."

"oh so thats what that was"

that would be the supervisors for ya
