Or was it a foreign submarine showing Obama that his Homeland Security Department SUCKS!

If they can't keep peons south of the border, you expect them to stop a missle? All they know how to do is frisk gramma at the airport.

Me, too. An accidental missile launch is all but impossible. More than one person is involved.

I’ll be darned! That wasn’t indicated on the map I referenced, although it is an old map. Thanks for the info.

I’m thinking no.

As you noted the density of the vapor trail is quite large. Another telling point with regard to the lighting as you stated, a close up shows that the plume is quite dark at the point of exhaust and just as it spreads out sun light begins to shine through as the smoke dissipates. I have seen a lot of jets in the sky from the ground that produce large contrails but never this concentrated at the source of the exhaust.

Screw being worthy of my trust.

Why isn’t there a nuclear oil slick off of LA right now?

Whatever launched that should be dead.

I don’t watch videos, but someone who did said it had a corkscrew pattern. Is that a clear sign it’s a missile?
