Absolute nonsense. No Chinese or anyone else’s sub could ever get that close to our shore, much less launch a missile.

I beg to differ I think it would be real easy

If someone assigned me to do it I would start far to the
north and drift south with only enough power to provide
steerage and buoyancy control. You could be very stealthy. The hard part would be getting
the Hell out of Dodge afterword!

Russians have done it, Japanese have done it.

The Monterey Bay has canyons so deep a sub could hide there for a year and go undetected. Julie Packard founder of the Monterey Bay Fish Prison and the underwriter of the Monterey Bay Sanctuary for Julie and off limits for everyone else, wouldn’t let any Navy vessels in capable of looking for submarines.

Nor is it ok to fly military planes over the stolen waters called ‘sanctuary’.

So you have no idea, because the government supports people like Julie Packard who don’t respect our national sovereignty.

Thank you all for the responses. I have made a number of inquiries to those experts on launches and rockets and I did receive this response from an analyst in the middle of this event:

"It is however perfectly true that there are missile launches in that area, some of them secret ."

"Launches of NASA Black Brant IX rockets from San Nicolas Island in California carrying MARTI targets for the Missile Defense Agency's Airborne Laser testbed were until recently on public NASA schedules - those schedules have been removed from public access in the past few weeks. The most recent MARTI launch, which was publicly acknowledged, was on Oct 21. The MDA has also launched Scud missiles as targets from the ocean off Point Mugu. Launches of target missiles for the Aegis ship-based missile defense system being tested by the US and Japan have also occurred in the Pt Mugu area."

"Nevertheless, the consensus of analysts is that the particular contrail seen on Nov 9 was not a missile, and this is consistent with DoD statements on the matter."

Do not ask who my source is, suffice to say that it is someone in absolute knowledge of every missile launch on the planet, private and military. That being said, I remain skeptical for technical reasons offered by a rocket expert I trust, that it was a missile launch. There are satellite photos of the event that I am told deepen the mystery.

I am certain that if it was a missile launch it was a DOD event, no foreign power would risk an act of war.
