Navy, Military Investigating Missile Video; No Agencies Claim Responsibility Yet

The mystery of an apparent missile launch last night off the Southern California coast deepened today as U.S. military officials said they were still checking to see if the missile was one of theirs.

The U.S. Defense Department said Tuesday it was trying to determine if a missile was launched Monday off the coast of Southern California and, if so, who might have fired it.
(ABC News)

The unmistakable contrail streaking into the California sunset was captured on video last night by a KCBS news helicopter flying over Los Angeles at around 5 p.m. Pacific time.

The news footage drew more attention when local news stations were told by Navy and Air Force officials that they did not launch a missile last night.

Flying above Los Angeles, the crew aboard the helicopter estimated the contrails were approximately 35 miles west out to sea, north of Catalina Island.

The object appeared to have been launched at sea, which prompted speculation that it had been launched by a U.S. Navy vessel.

However, Navy officials contacted by local news stations said they were unaware of a missile launch in that area. Contacted by ABC News, a Navy official said today they were still looking into the report, but, a preliminary check indicated it was not a Navy asset.

U.S. Northern Command said it's investigating. They say there was no launch last night from Vandenberg Air Force Base which is a regular launch point for the testing of missiles.

"NORAD and USNORTHCOM are aware of the unexplained contrail reported off the coast of Southern California yesterday evening," the agency said in a statement. "At this time, we are unable to provide specific details, but we are working to determine the exact nature of this event. We can confirm that there is no indication of any threat to our nation and we will provide more information as it becomes available."

Here's a video about the missile:

Jet contrail? Missile launch from a submarine?

Did they ever determine what this was? I've heard a number of theories, but nothing concrete.

It's a jet contrail from America West Flight 808. The plane was exactly at that location at the time the video was taken. Someone also noticed the same flight made a similar contrail the very next day.
