So the aircraft had its afterburners on and was rolling into a ballistic trajectory?
I have seen people say that a contrail looked like a tornado too. Some people will believe just about anything.

Update From NORTHCOM on Mystery Contrail
I spoke with folks at NORTHCOM, and they intend to put out a press statement shortly that notes the contrail seen near Los Angeles last night is not a foreign military launched missile. At this time NORTHCOM cannot confirm what it is in the video.
A multi-agency process has begun to identify the contrail, and at this time they are still not sure. I will post the contents and link to the press statement to this post when their statement gets posted online.

“Some people will believe just about anything.”
How about chem-trails? Suspiciously lingering white clouds that look like, uh, like clouds?
Just like yourself. Who said anything about afterburners. I’m stating that it is a reflection off the fuselage filmed at extreme range. I’ve witnessed these lit aircraft contrails myself. Was I witnessing a ballistic missile launch? No. You really need to think perspective when analysing such footage. Go back and study the link that I posted. Are those examples ballistic missile launches? No.
