Re: [californiadisasters] Pentagon Has 'No Clue' Who Launched SoCal Missile

If one does not know what the object or cause is, how does one know if it is a threat or not?

STICKNEY KNBC-TV Los Angeles Updated 11:55 AM PST, Tue, Nov 9, 2010 What appeared to be a missile launch near Los Angeles Monday night may be something entirely different as military and aviation agencies and experts chime in on the mysterious object spotted over the Southern California sky. A local television station showed video captured by a traffic helicopter around sunset.  The location was reported to be west of Los Angeles, north of Catalina Island and approximately 35 miles out to sea, KFMB reported. It does appear a substantial missile was launched into the skies over Southern California Monday evening but no one in the military is owning up to it yet, NBC News Pentagon correspondent Jim Miklaszewski reported Tuesday morning.

It does appear a substantial missile was launched into the skies over Southern California Monday evening but no one in the military is owning up to it yet, NBC News Pentagon correspondent Jim Miklaszewski reported Tuesday morning. No one in the Pentagon knew exactly what it is. It cannot be a planned military launch because no branch had a military action planned, according to Miklaszewski. A possibility is that the missile was launched unintentionally. It may have been a screwup. Someone may have simply punched the wrong button. Vandenberg Air Force Base officials said the facility's last launch was a satellite on Friday. Naval Base Ventura County spokeswoman Teri Reid told the LA Timesy that the contrail did not originate at Naval Air Station Point Mugu. "It didn't happen here," she told the Times. "There was no firing on the range yesterday." <SNIP> View entire article here: http://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local-beat/Pentagon-Has-No-Clue-Who-Launched-Missile-in-SoCal-106954903.html -- Check out http://groups.yahoo.com/group/californiadisasters/ Read our blog at http://eclecticarcania.blogspot.com/ Visit me on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/derkimster
