WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Military is scrambling to find out what was seen in skies over Los Angeles last night after a local CBS news helicopter captured video that appears to show a major missile or rocket launch from the Pacific Ocean just north of Santa Catalina Island.
The video shows an enormous condensation trail following a brightly lit object, similar to images seen during a space launch.
Col. Dave Lapan, a Pentagon spokesman, told reporters the video is so far "unexplained" by anyone in the U.S. Military.
The Missile Defense Agency told Fox News it did not launch any test missile last night that could explain the dramatic images. The Navy and the Air Force were also unable to offer an explanation.
"It does not appear that this was a regularly scheduled missile test", Lapan said. Before a missile test the military sends notifications to mariners, airmen, and air traffic controllers to stay clear of the area, and according to Lapan it doesn't appear those warnings were sent.
The FAA told Fox News it did not issue any license for a commercial launch. NASA also denied any involvement and said it is checking for any meteorite activity, although it's highly unlikely that is the source of these images.
John Cornelio, a spokesman for Northern Command and NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command) told Fox News Tuesday there is no threat to the homeland. "We are very confident this was not fired from a foreign military," Cornelio said. "That's not what we are working with."
Cornelio also cautioned the use of the term missile, saying that word suggests the launch of a weapon, which can't be confirmed.
"If it was an attack we would have known it and we would have done something about it," Cornelio said.
At this point the military is working only with video taken from the KCBS news camera.
It appears from the video, Lapan said, the object was launched from the water and not U.S. soil, although he cant be certain.
If a test missile or an accidental missile was launched in the region it would have either come from Naval Air Station Point Mugu or Vandenberg Air Force Base. At sea it could have come from a U.S. submarine or a surface ship. But so far, it all remains a mystery.

And it just flew off into the sunset and nobody bothered to track it, or watch for a 'splashdown'? Oh yeah, this stuff happens every day. Sure it does.

[saorsa64]

@MrTommy001 lmao...sure, I "believe" it, don't you? Guess they expect everyone to just calmly & quietly kick back and sip our kool-aid and buy into their "I dunno" bs, like good little sheeple!

[cavemanbgood]

35 miles off So Cal cost,humm,sounds like US Navy Station San Clemente Island to me. and thats a tuff place to get near on boat.google it

[saorsa64]

@cavemanbgood Someone actually linked a video doing just that to my other vid on this,(see info above), but if it was a military launch, why are they denying any knowledge of a launch?? What are they not telling us....again??? People would be less suspicious of gov't/military activity if they wouldn't lie and cover-up issues! If it was some sort of weapon or space program related experiment, they should say so, but to flat out deny it; makes you wonder what they're up to! They know everything!

@saorsa64

Thats because we can't hand;e the truth. I mean just imagine that panic and frenzy people would go into if they knew that this missile was headed to a secret bunker right on the edge of Russia where the Russians are holding Superman hostage in a fort of kryptonite. And like always it's up to California to save the day.

OMG! I have said to much. Divert your eyes from this message quickly!

[saorsa64]

@TonyFbaby87 ok....don't panic....they're gonna go with the "contrail" theory...they even had a top scientist pushing for the 'optic illusion' effect. Took them a whole 24 hrs to come up with that one.....better fire those script writers and hire some from some wrestling organization! Funny thing is, the whole time I was in SoCal 2yrs ago, I never saw anything like that...must be some "new way" we see now days...prob from the kool-aid......lmfao

Waitng on a joke on how this was somehow caused by Chuck Norris. 

[14ATruther]

Sorry, it was an EMP fired from a Chinese sub. Remember that Cruise Ship that had all of it's power knocked out and had to be towed back in??? The Bush/Clinton/Obama cartel is internationally trying to keep the Central bankers debt currency "dollar" as the reserve currency and the Chinese, because they do not want war, fired the EMP as a warning shot to the back of two of our aircraft carriers we sent to threaten them... WAKE UP. OPEC=Bush I

[april231953]

WND.com reports that a federal agency had been warning before hand that there would be "intermittent missile firing operations" in the area at that time. This makes me feel a bit better; it tells me the missile was at least ours' but I don't feel good about the number of people who can't tell a twin engined commercial jet contrail from a missile launch. Nor do I feel good about a govt. that won't admit the truth if this was an accidental launch.

[ShamAndShort]

it was ironman

[TheWTFers]

@StigmataBOB1 They know, just wont tell you. Its one of theirs.

[TheWTFers]

U.S military knows what it is, its one of their missiles. Otherwise they would of been all over it, but they are just like meh. 

[PMZanetti]

How is it possible to have no idea where it came from, and ALSO know that there is no danger or threat? That is not possible at the same time, which means this report is in fact a carefully crafted LIE.
