Titan IV missle launch...much more plausible.

But a Titan missile launch 30 miles from LA that only two people noticed? Doesn't make sense.

Agreed....that is a concern but at that height the helicopter had an advantage in viewing the event with the remaining daylight. I would think on shore it was next to impossible to view.

Secondly the helicopter pilot said that the glow lit up the sky.....

Third, that video seemed to be at comparable distance and remarkably similar to the speed, plume and trajectory of the video from California.

Though I remain open.....I am leaned more to the ballistic missile explanation.
