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.

    So, probably propaganda. Where is all of the other footage? This was seen from L.A., right? There must be other video footage angles and even high-res photos, you would think. After all, it was visible long enough for peeps to break out the good photo gear. Maybe more will get posted and prove otherwise. Until then, this is a psy op, imho.

    'no threat to national security" OMG if they really didnt know what this was, the country would be in high terror alert, and there'd be a full scale investigation launched, yet they casually dismiss it and say 'we're making calls' gimme a break!

    @attorneyskillforjews , I know you folks cant figure this out so I will tell you. This is that 50 foot owl that was in the woods at bohemian grove. Yes the one all these freaky homosexual beastiality folks go to. They shot the owl to the moon to help with the helium 3 mining operation. You have to ask john "jew" lear about it. They can not get a living thing on the moon right now so the 50 concrete owl will have to handle things until they can get someone up there. Nothing personal

    @petehjr1 Because Iraq is nearly completely landlocked, and has no submarines. Sorry to burst your bubble.
