From CBSNews: The Pentagon is still not sure what that was in the sky off the coast of California -- except that it was not a missile fired by the U.S. or some other country, reports CBS News Pentagon correspondent David Martin.
The video of what looks for all the world like the contrail of a missile was shot Monday evening by KCBS cameraman Gil Leyvas from a news helicopter over Los Angeles.
"I saw a big plume coming up, rising from looked like beyond the horizon and it continued to grow," Leyvas said.
He zoomed his camera in and stayed on it for about 10 minutes. To him it looked like an incoming missile. "It was unique. It was moving," he said. "It was growing in the sky."
If he saw this thing for 10 minutes then it wasn't a missile. A missile would have been out of sight in just a few seconds or a minute or two at most.
Let's not get carried away. The most obvious explanation is that the military did this. How could they not know. Is this another 911 type failure of the military or is someone doing this intentionally to frighten people? Take your pick.
You mean someone other than the terrorist nations of America and Israel has WMDs. I am sure our corrupt, murderous war profiteering corporations sold it to whoever launched it.
Maybe another even better possibility is that the military launched it, claimed ignorance which is no surprise, so that we would not cut the bloated and tragic military spending.

Classic military intelligence. Just like ignoring the warning about the Yemen bomb.
