I am confident that it is a missile launch test.
The following is from a different thread posted on FR with similar photos including the most current.

Also remember that awhile back(early in his usurption) that Obama sent out a directive to halt all routine testing of our nuclear and ballistic missiles. ?? It was very controversial at the time because our missiles need to be maintained and tested to insure readiness,etc.
Could this be our military doing the neccessary testing to protect this country while the idiot is away on his stupid trip?
