Or maybe in this case there was no response because nothing happened. Just like nothing happens whenever this optical illusion appears over the coast.

There’s a video that shows a boosted launch, with an evolving plume and a ‘flame’.
I don’t think it’s a significant event - I believe it was a rogue booster from Point Mugu, not e.g. a Chinese sub - but it was definitely a launch of some kind.
