Mystery Missile: Launch of Unknown Missile Caught on Tape in California

The mystery of an apparent missile launch last night off the Southern California coast deepened today as U.S. military officials said they were still checking to see if the missile was one of theirs.

The unmistakable contrail streaking into the California sunset was captured on video last night by a KCBS news helicopter flying over Los Angeles at around 5 p.m. Pacific time.

The news footage drew more attention when local news stations were told by Navy and Air Force officials that they did not launch a missile last night.

Flying above Los Angeles, the crew aboard the helicopter estimated the contrails were approximately 35 miles west out to sea, north of Catalina Island.

The object appeared to have been launched at sea, which prompted speculation that it had been launched by a U.S. Navy vessel.

However, Navy officials contacted by local news stations said they were unaware of a missile launch in that area. Contacted by ABC News, a Navy official said today they were still looking into the report, but, a preliminary check indicated it was not a Navy asset.

U.S. Northern Command said it's investigating. They say there was no launch last night from Vandenberg Air Force Base which is a regular launch point for the testing of missiles.

"NORAD and USNORTHCOM are aware of the unexplained contrail reported off the coast of Southern California yesterday evening," the agency said in a statement. "At this time, we are unable to provide specific details, but we are working to determine the exact nature of this event. We can confirm that there is no indication of any threat to our nation and we will provide more information as it becomes available."

Guys, China is pretty upset about our economic shenanigans. They've seriously condemned QE2, downgraded American debt (well, one private Chinese rating agency did anyway), and then this mystery missile is launched all within 24 hours.

The G-20 should be interesting.

nah... not worth my energy arguing anymore! lol....

but looking at the perspective of a dimensional being....all things happen at once... call them time slips... some are experiencing different levels of disaster than you...if we are easing into a new dimension then you will be moved through time getting glimpes of things that have happened...hopefully it will easier than not having to bear a global catastrophe all at once... just my opinion

hows that...
