Probably the onboard Quasar System... but that's top secret hush-hush... so don't tell anyone...
;0)

Not only that, but I took this photo from Burbank. My roommate called me from 40 miles away and said he was right under it when it happened, and he was scared sh--less. He said it looked like a slow moving firework that even exploded slowly, spreading this odd light everywhere. I watched, and it just hung there for a good long while.

Odd.

Seems common enough. Firings from facilities in and around Lompoc around sunset look like that. Nothing unusual, in other words.

Its a solid fueled rocket launched from Vandenberg just like they have been doing for 25 years. I hope its a spy camera that can see Sadam sneaking those missles around at night.
To: Demosthenes
Incoming or outgoing missle?

I saw that missile from Yuba City which is about 40 miles north of Sacramento. No doubt it was fired from Vandenburg AFB.
Pretty cool.

Stay where you are. Someone is coming to debrief you. Whatever you do, don't leave the house!

If he was scared sh--less, then he should call the US military and tell them they have in winner in whatever they launched. Surely it will put the fear of ___ (fill in your preferred power) into enemies of the United States.

I knew it was high up there....I could see jetliner traffic flying under it....

A friend called me in Central California, she saw it too. By the time I got the call, it was gone. I have seen missiles from Vandenburg several times, it does last a good long time.
To: Demosthenes
Call Art Bell, buddy - use the wildcard line.

Why did it not dissipate for ten minutes?
Low wind speed at altitude?
