Pentagon is left stumped by mystery vapour trail
The US military said Tuesday it had detected no launch of a foreign military missile off the coast of California and offered assurances that whatever happened there posed no threat to the United States.
KCBS-TV caught on camera what appeared to be a missile vapour trail as it arced into the evening sky west of Los Angeles, sparking reports of a possible missile launch.
“At this time, we can confirm that there is no threat to our nation and from all indications this was not a launch by a foreign military,” the US Northern Command and the North American Aerospace Defence (Norad) Command said in a statement, but added that they had no explanation for the sighting and was trying to get to the bottom of it.
