Missiles aren't all air to air either. A Tomahawk is fairly large. It appears to be powered which means it isn't a bomb. The only thing it could be is a cruise missile type of weapon.

Since when does a bomb leave a nice white exhaust trail behind it?

Re. bouncing munition: it attempts to change direction just before the bounce, munitions are ballistic.
Re. missiles: During the UFO Chasers episode they showed the footage to an officer who worked with missiles his whole military career and he said it wasn't a missile. I repeat, no missile that size could take falling over let alone a crash like that.
Although film can play with apparent vs actual speed, the ballistic path after the bounce looks powered to me also. Couple that with the smoke trail, the rotation of the body during the bounce, a missile officers testimony and you have a powered craft that isn't a missile or a plane. Not only that but that smoke trail looks like a low velocity trail, not what exhaust would look like if it was providing thrust from a rocket or jet.
