Where it took off from is less of a concern than where it comes down? Has it come down, and where?
To: Scythian
Perhaps the X-51 .. It uses a solid rocket to boost up.

What you saw was a missile trail but what you didn't see was George Clooney kill a dump truck load of terrorist and divert the missile five seconds before launch.
To: Scythian
While it might have been a classified ABM test it is also possible that someone privately launched a large rocket. It is not clear how big the “missile” is but it is moving fast since the exaust trail remains tight and does not fan out as you might see from a large missile moving more slowly through its first stage burn. That fast “burst” of initial flight seems like an ABM or large private rocket.

I don’t think North Korea has any SLBMs, but the ChiComs do, and they are probably none too please with “the one” getting chummy with India.

He’s leaving Indonesia early for the Volcano so he is not disrupted in air travel. I did not read that he was coming home early. Did not read where he was going early. Maybe he will find a battle field where the USA won and apologize.

IF there were no other reason for the early return the conspiracy may hold water, however, there has been talk about returning early or even completely skipping Indonesia for several days and it completely makes sense to return early because of the volcano. I don't see the Secret Service letting him stick around with that risk- and they have the final say in regards to these type of events.
The other thing is we have absolutely no idea what the rocket was. For all we know, it was some amateur rocketeers shooting one off or a military test they don't want us to know about. We have some amateur rocketeers down in Texas near Midland that launch some pretty big suckers.
It is premature to assume anything at this point.

Where is that clip on the 4 missiles that fit into a shipping container?

I thought it was Michelle’s firm handshake with the Indonesian poohbah that was to blame.

I launch “private” rockets. That’s not a rocket from any of the amateur guys I know. We would also have to file a NOTAM (Notice to Airman) concerning a launch. Not doing this on a rocket this size would be stupendously stupid.
And from the rocketry listserve I’m on, no one knows anything about the launch either.
Nope, not one of us. None affiliated with any rocket guys in the U.S anyway.

Anyone know if Obama has stopped the NAVY from using Active Sonar by our 688 Class subs off the coast of CA to assuage the EPA? The ChiComs may have flanked us to test our ears. The Russians were STUPID enough to sell them a Typhoon class Boomer.

Could be he’s coming back to find out why the launch against DC went awry and headed in the wrong direction.

Actually I heard it was a large flock of seagulls. The large contrail is result of the birds eating to much Kimchi. They same ones that down that S. Korea ship.
