Over 20 people reported seeing something like a surface to air missile. Remember similar incidents on the west coast. I believe an Alaskan and Hawaiian Airlines flights that went down over water in similar circumstances.

It was Alaskan Airlines, and the conditions were in no way similar. The airplane was bound from Mexico to Seattle and had declared an emergency. It was trying to make the LA Airport when it went out of control and crashed. It was determined that a failure in the horizontal stabilizer trim system caused the crash.
