Late on Friday there was a surprising announcement by the Federal Aviation Administration according to which night-time flights to and from Los Angeles International (LAX) would avoid flying over the Pacific Ocean to the west of the airport, the second busiest in the US.(snip)
...thousands of reports from Los Angeles and San Diego flooded social networks with reports of a mysterious bright light in the sky that sent Californians into panic. The San Diego Union-Tribune said police were inundated with calls "reporting everything from a flare to a comet to a nuclear bomb".
The newspaper said the light was seen as far away as the states of Nevada and Arizona. CBS-LA reported sightings in San Francisco, 380 miles (600km ) to the north.

You should come visit Albuquerque. We get images like the one that was claimed to be a missile a few years back almost on a daily basis. Wide open skies, and contrails, combined with high-altitude winds make for some pretty cool trails in the sky.
I have my doubts that the sighting a few years ago was a missile, but I don't know for certain. All I can compare it to is what I see where I live. And I'm constantly seeing things in the sky here that look like what that did a few years back. I've has some west-bound jets coming over the Sandia Mountains at us (I live west of them) that look exactly like missile launches. The major difference here is that you can watch the aircraft progress across the sky.
Active Duty ping.
Used to live in Santa Fe. I'm an amateur astronomer. I saw some weird things at night, but who ya gonna call at 3AM? Los Alamos? LOL, yeah, they already know about it - it's theirs!
First missile contrail I saw was on the coast of CA, out of Vandenberg. Scary looking, seemed like it was coming down, rather than going up. Optical illusion, but still. Then the contrail blew sideways in the setting sun, all zig zag. Very pretty.
The area of ocean where this trident D5 missile was launched is part of a test range that has been around for decades. It really wasn't that close and the whole thing is monitored for safety including Back Azimuth and Side Azimuth range safety officers who can destroy the missile if it does not track properly. The same goes for the ICBMs that are launched from Vandenberg AFB, which is on-shore.
Both the USAF and the Navy share the Western Test Range which have launches between Vandenberg AFB at Lompoc Ca and Point Mugu respectively usually with the Re Entry Vehicles (RVs) terminating at Kwajalein atoll.
This one was just really photogenic. If it happened during the day there would have been much less publicity.
Contempt. Remember when Obama buzzed a traumatized, post 9/11 Manhattan Island with his 747 without warning anybody it was coming? Contempt. Remember when that SWAT team did a practice drug bust on a high school without warning students they were coming? Shock and awe on the governed. PSYOPS. I saw this thing from east Utah last night and didn't know what I was looking at. Obama would rather frighten Americans with an unannounced nuclear test than practice near the enemy or over neutral territory like the open sea, that coward. Just who's side is he on really?

It was visible in Denver as well
Wow, I wish I had been outside to see it. I was watching a really bad Jennifer Aniston movie (is there any other kind?)
I was once working a flight along the west coast and had just taken the pilots their meals when they pointed out a missile that had just launched from Vandenberg. So I've seen that from above, but can't recall ever seeing one when I lived near Oxnard and then South Bay.
It’s probably “Homeland” and the corrupt ones in our military doing a ‘scare the citizens’ routine.
Cool pic! Thanks, SC!
I would love to see some video with that kind of clarity.
The airhead quotient does seem to be growing though, if you consider the input to this “rogue missile” thread.
If they do the test during the day, they have to use some spooks and fake websites to convince almost everyone it was a plane. Not a submarine launched missile.
I was on my way to LA when it went off. My GoPro was on too but so was Orson Welle’s 1938 War of the Worlds. I was listening to it for the first time alone in the dark. It seemed too much of a coincidence and there was no knowing what was really happening so I let the camera loop record over the files. Won’t let that happen again.
I was in the missile business in one way or another for my entire Air force career and then after I retired. Also spent time at Vandenberg AFB with them.
Doesn’t look like a normal missile to me. where’s the smoke from the combustion of the rocket fuel?
Is it a normal propellant?
Next time, go to Twitter. Twitter always knows what is happening first. The other night we had a 4.1 earthquake in Phoenix and I couldn’t find note of it anywhere until I went to Twitter. They had posted within 2 minutes. I didn’t get confirmation until 20 minutes later when USGS posted to their site.
Tthat is an amazing picture. Can you imagine chem trail nuts just going crazy sitting in a tinfoil lined room in their parents basements?
Very well put!
