I don't know. I only saw one launch from Vandenberg when I was in my early twenties. I've seen lots of vapor trails in the sunset left by jets. This looks exactly like the missile I saw launched way back in the day. The little dot of light flashing also looked just like what I saw. You would think our military would be able to track down the flight plan of something that leaves that big a vapor trail by now.

I don't know. I only saw one launch from Vandenberg when I was in my early twenties.Like this one? (Vandenberg, 2006, Minuteman III) This image is the beginning of a 6700 mile ballistic trajectory. Definitely not an airplane. The CBS video looks similar. We Wernher Von Braun wannabes see a medium sized rocket here. Not the first time the DoD has dummied up over cool stuff flying through the air.
