Mystery Missile In California Roll-outs Against Setting Sun
A news chopper in California caught a mystery missile launch on Nov. 8. Triangulation puts the unknown missile launch at about 35 miles out to sea. Popular theories say that the unknown missile may be National Aeronautics and Space Administration's black Brant IX rockets, or possibly an optical illusion from an approaching aircraft.
Unknown missile seen in California state
The KCBS news helicopter in California captured what appeared to be a missile launch on Monday evening. It looked like the launch came from out in the sea. It was about 35 miles west of LA and north of Catalina Island. It wasn’t a prepared missile launch as FAA warnings and military services accounts had nothing in them over it.
Mystery missile might have come from military
KFMB, the Columbia Broadcasting System station, spoke with both the Navy and Air Force. Both say the mystery missile didn’t come from them. Col. Dave Lapan is a spokesman from the Pentagon. He said that “The operative word is unexplainable.” NORAD, the North American Aerospace Defense Command, released a statement saying that they are "working to determine the exact nature of this event." NORAD, or North American Aerospace Defense Command said it is “working to determine the exact nature of this even.” They have also confirmed that "from all indications, this had been not a launch by a foreign military."
The mystery missile
With the Army, Navy, Air Force, and U.S. military all swearing off knowledge of the mystery missile, what else could it be? Based on the LA Times, the unknown missile might not be anything to worry about. A private rocket launch could have been what it was. National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Black Brant IX rockets could are launched from San Nicolas Island according to numerous others thinking about the mystery missile. The rockets are for testing. They carry Missile Alternative Range Target Instrumentation. A final possibility is that the mystery missile isn't a missile at all. Then ContrailScience.com talks about this. It claims, "a contrail streaming horizontally from the exhaust of an approaching aircraft can look like a vertical missile shot if the end of the plume is hidden by the curvature of the earth." So what do you think the CA unknown missile really was?
