If not, they just didn't care, and it simply needed to be launched.
The problem with this launch was that there was not public notice to airmen to avoid the launch box which are typically given for military exercises.
If it was a ‘covert’ military launch, why launch so close to residential civilian areas where there is a risk over personal injury/property damage in the event of a errant launch?
Very strange situation if it was a launch.
Fox now speculating it was a launch in “error”.
