Weird...there’s also a pretty good asteroid shower going on. If I were a conspiracy nut I might think that this was an intercepted missile from someone not friendly to us. Why do it at night and cause all kinds of unnecessary alarm. Could have just as well have done it in the daytime.
The skies West of LAX have had a NOTAM forbidding air traffic **AT NIGHT** for the past week due to “military activities,” so this launch was planned for night time for some time in advance...for some reason.
It all had a strange errie feeling t it, and we were trying to connect it to the shower going on.
That’s sure as heck what it looked like.
