Los Angeles television stations are reporting on a secret missile launch the evening of Nov. 8. Triangulation puts the unknown missile launch at about 35 miles out to sea. Popular theories say that the unknown missile might be NASA's black Brant IX rockets, or possibly an optical illusion from an approaching aircraft.
Mystery missile in CA
In CA, there had been a KCBS news helicopter that caught something on tape Monday. It appears to be a missile launch. About 35 miles west of Los Angeles and north of Catalina Island was where the launch appeared to be coming from. There was not anything within the FAA warnings and military services accounts about a missile launch. It wasn't prepared by them.
Could secret missile have originated from the military services?
The Air Force and Navy have both had spokesman say that the unknown missile launch was not from them, accounts CBS station KFMB. "The operative word is unexplainable," Pentagon spokesperson Col. Dave Lapan said. 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 was not a launch by a foreign military.”
Exactly what the mystery missile really is
With the Army, Navy, Air Force, and U.S. military all swearing off knowledge of the mystery missile, what else could it be? The mystery missile may are a private rocket launch, based on the Los Angeles times. There are other options people think of with the mystery missile. Some say National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Black Brant IX rockets may have been launched off of San Nicolas Island with it. The rockets are for testing. They carry Missile Alternative Range Target Instrumentation. The mystery missile might not even be a missile. ContrailScience.com points out that “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 had been the CA mystery missile then?
