Note that the jet contrail in the top pic is of an aircraft heading towards the camera. If you watched it a while longer you would see the aircraft fly nearly directly overhead.

The video of the missile from yesterday shows an exact opposite contrail. The large spread out contrail at the bottom is closest to the camera. You can also see the missile moving at a speed that you would never see from a large aircraft like a passenger plane.

Every large rocket hobbyist files a flight plan in advance and informs the rocketry community months before their launch schedule.

It was 35 miles off of the coast, longer flight time than any amateur rocket, no flight plan filed, and as far as the amateur rocket community is concerned it wasn’t theirs.

To everyone saying it is a jet, you can see a large single orange flame shooting from bottom of the object producing the contrail. Also, the contrail is super large when scaled against the helicopter in flight (good reference point), which is several miles closer to the camera. The bottom plume appears to be at least a mile wide.

The speed may also be an optical illusion.

The TV news helicopter does not have a normal camera - it's gyro stabilized camera can look inside cars from a hover a mile away...:^)

If the camera was on a high zoom - likely given the 35 miles off the coast estimate - then speeds would look amplified if you thought you were looking through a normal lens, rather than a telephoto...
