tails remain very limited at this time, but it is clear a Trident submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) test has occurred over the Atlantic ocean. According to a series of notices to airman (NOTAM) about the potential launch activity that were posted in recent days, the missile was launched off the Florida coast and had a reentry area to the east of Ascension Island, with a total downrange travel distance of around 5,200 miles.

The launch grabbed the attention of Floridians who saw the Trident missile’s comet-like trail lit up in the evening sky. These tests are essential to guaranteeing America and Britain’s second-strike capability that underpins both country’s nuclear deterrents. It is unclear at this time if the launch emanated from a U.S. Navy or U.K. Royal Navy nuclear ballistic missile submarine.

Test or not, the climb to relatively moderate altitude and disappearance of the rocket flame seems to indicate it was some type of submarine launched cruise missile. After the boosting rocket is spent the vehicle runs on a small jet engine.
