Default SSBN Missile Test San Diego

Anybody else see it? I'm hundreds of miles north and it was plain as daylight. I thought it was a helicopter with the searchlight pointing aft at first but then thought it was a launch of some sort, but not that far away and a west flight path is the wrong way for putting something in orbit.

This is pretty much what I saw but my angle was more to the side so the cone was more pointed. Look around 1:30s.


Sorry l didn't mean to quote myself. The thing is I'm 400 miles north of this video and it didn't look much different. Amazing.

I like the one comment on the video: "It's the new Star Wars trailer..."

Even though it was mentioned on several pages such as IFL, that is was because of a missile test, some people are so sure it was UFOs and nothing else.

I would love to see the test from nearby.
