If we didn't do it, there would be a lot of sub hunting going on. It was a US Sub launch...

As big as it appears to be, the question the reporter should have asked was ‘where does it seem to be heading?’

I will wait for FOX News’ coverage on this.

If it went exo-atmospheric, it was ours.
But it was ours anyways ...
Odd that it was done that close to shore.
Perhaps it was a “Bedford incident” moment ... “Captain Finlander: ... if the Russian does shoot, I’ll fire one. Ensign Ealston: FIRE ONE SIR!!” Vampire Vampire Vampire ...

With a contrail that large and with the launch 35 miles at sea means this was probably a submarine missile launch test of some kind. The Navy does not normally discuss these things, but they do conduct tests our there now and then.

At 35 miles west northwest of LA that's in commercial airspace as well as maritime shipping lanes. The FAA should have a notice to airman posted and the restricted area closed. ( If there's a restricted area there).
A notice to Mariners should also be on fileIf nether, someone other than the US got a sub 35 miles off the west coast a fired a ICBM....not a good thing

Kinda weird to test an ICBM just North of Catalina, never heard of that before.

Very odd. I’ve seen ICBMs launched from Vandeberg (from a distance) and it looks quite similar.

35 miles from shore? Sounds like
Sea Launch at work. Yawn. Or not.

Does look like a rocket, but looked a bit slow to me.
I’m a private pilot and native Californian watching this kind of thing a long time.
Others have said it could be an optical illusion by an airliner. Trails left by them can be quite impactful near sunset. I would bet that is what it is for now especially if it was only seen from one area.
Also many rockets stage at some point. I don’t think anyone saw a staging event.
