SSBN Missile Test San Diego

I thought I saw one the day before but that one didn't do the bright cone. It looked like a jet departing SFO but going the wrong way.

I live a few miles from Ft.Campbell here in Kentucky. As of late I have noticed US Navy P-8 Poseidons flying from the airfield at Ft.Campbell. AH-64s,UH-60s and CH-47s are a very common site as are C-17s and you can also if you know your choppers spot MH-60s,MH-47s and MH-6 belonging to the Nightstalkers who are also stationed at Ft.Campbell. The P-8s are certainly not a common sight and are not stationed at Ft.Campbell I think the Navy started flying them 2011 or 2012. Based on the 737 airframe.

Are they also doing firings in Northern CA, also, or are you seeing the tests from down here, up there? Local news reports in LA have been saying the bright cone was seen as far south as Mexico and as far north as Monterey...

I'm ten miles north of the Golden Gate bridge and it looked every bit as bright and large as the videos. It was about the size of my hand held out in front of me.

EDIT: Well testing the hand measure to reality tonight I'll scale down to a half hand.

Crap! I must be getting senile as I've quoted myself again instead of editing.

Don't feel too bad; I'm not sure half the time if I've actually posted or not...

There were no noticeable local reports on the second launching, but I heard on a national talk show the second launching was a daytime event, so the impressive pyrotechnics did not accompany...
