Monday, November 8, a news chopper caught an unpredicted sight. An unannounced unknown missile launched. Triangulation puts the mystery missile launch at about 35 miles out to sea. Popular theories say that the mystery missile may be NASA's Black Brant IX rockets, or possibly an optical illusion from an approaching aircraft.
Mystery missile seen in CA state
The KCBS news helicopter in CA captured what appeared to be a missile launch on Monday evening. It looked like the launch originated from out within the sea. It had been about 35 miles west of LA and north of Catalina Island. There was not anything in the FAA warnings and military reports about a missile launch. It was not planned by them.
Could secret missile have originated from the military services?
A Navy spokesperson and Air Force spokesperson have both told CBS station KFMB that the unknown missile launch had been not from their branches of the military services. Col. Dave Lapan is a spokesman from the Pentagon. He said that "The operative word is unexplainable." NORAD, the North American Aerospace Defense Command, released a statement saying that they’re “working to determine the exact nature of this event.” NORAD, or North American Aerospace Defense Command said it is "working to determine the exact nature of this even." They have also confirmed that “from all indications, this was not a launch by a foreign military.”
The place that the mystery missile came from
Many wonder that with the U.S. military, Air Force, Army and Navy all denying the mystery missile, where could it have come from? The Los Angeles Times speculates the mystery missile could are a private rocket launch. There are other possibilities people think of with the unknown missile. Some say National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Black Brant IX rockets might have been launched off of San Nicolas Island with it. The rockets are for testing. They carry Missile Alternative Range Target Instrumentation. The mystery missile might not even be a missile. According to ContrailScience.com, “a contrail streaming horizontally from the exhaust of an approaching aircraft can look like a vertical missile shot if the end of the plume is hidden by the curvature of the earth.”
So what was the CA unknown missile then?
