that’s what I’m wondering about — it just doesn’t make sense for any kind of “official” test, and while it’s sizable it’s not any real ballistic intercontinental missile

Personally I think it was a hobbyist rocket.
second guess would be a missile interceptor missile test, the prior publicly announced tests were either contrived successes, aborted launches, duds or failures to intercept.
Possibly some DoD types were not looking to have another “Missile Interceptor Program Fails Again” headline splashed across the media while the Republicans are politicking about cutting budgets.
