This is some crazy stuff...video in the link Mystery missile caught on video off L.A. coast LOS ANGELES — A mysterious 'missile' streaked across the sky off the Southern California coast Monday night and was caught on video by a local CBS News helicopter camera. KCBS said the trail was visible from Los Angeles. The helicopter crew described the missile's location as 35 miles out to sea north of Catalina Island. The U.S. Navy is the likely source, but Navy officials have been unable to determine who launched what, NBC News reported. Senior Pentagon and Navy officials said they did not know who launched the missile. As one official said, "We're checking." Meanwhile, a Navy spokesman told local CBS station KFMB that there was no Navy activity reported in that region Monday night, and that it was not the Navy's missile. Pentagon and military officials told NBC they have not been able to find anyone in the Navy or Air Force who had any information — or who was willing to share information — about the event. KCBS, which originally reported the incident, interviewed former U.S. Ambassador to NATO Robert Ellsworth after showing him the video. "It could be a test firing of an intercontinental ballistic missile from a submarine to demonstrate, mainly to Asia, that we can do that," he told the TV station, emphasizing that he was purely speculating. He said that it would be best to wait for a definitive clarification from the military. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/40087187/ns/us_news-security/
