There appeared to be a missile launch near Los Angeles as a mysterious object was spotted over the Southern California sky, according to the article below. Apparently, no one in the Pentagon knew exactly what it is as there was no planned military launch. Was is actually a missile - or will it turn out to be something else quite mundane?

Mystery Object No Threat to Nation:

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 object left a large contrail over Southern California Monday evening but no one in the military has identified the object, 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."
Another possibility would be a sophisticated launch just to create a spectacular sight in the sky.

I personally think someone pushed a button by mistake and doesn't want to admit it. What do you think it really was? Leave a comment.
